Hi and welcome
You will continue to receive ESA until a new decision is made either UC or ESA

i had an assessent last year and also got pip for 10 years i have looked here https://www.entitledto.co.uk/help/Un...ity_Assessment and it says i won't have to have another wca if i am already in support group for uc?

You need to get that ESA50 filled in and sent back ASAP, otherwise you risk them closing your claim, for all you know your last award may have only been for a 12month before reassessment.
You will be notified in writing if your not required to be reassessed and you will need another reassessment for that to happen, your PIP award has nothing at all to do with your ESA/UC award they are totally separate.
