We study the combined constraints on this scenario resulting from the dark matter relic density, the most recent results from direct detection experiments, LEP and the LHC. In particular limits from a recent search for electroweak production of charginos and neutralinos at $\sqrt{s}=13$  TeV after 35.9 fb$^{-1}$ by CMS and constraints on spin-independent dark matter–nucleon cross sections from XENON1T after 1 tonne  $\times $  year exposure are considered. We find that scenarios with higgsino masses below $\sim 250$  GeV as well as singlino masses below $\sim 100$  GeV are strongly constrained depending, however, on assumptions on the bino mass parameter $M_1$ . Benchmark points and branching fractions for future searches at the LHC are proposed. %G English %2 https://hal.science/hal-01814850v2/document %2 https://hal.science/hal-01814850v2/file/s10052-018-6204-3%20%281%29.pdf %L hal-01814850 %U https://hal.science/hal-01814850 %~ IN2P3 %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-PSUD %~ LUPM %~ FRANCE-GRILLES %~ UNIV-PARIS-SACLAY %~ UNIV-PSUD-SACLAY %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ LUPM_IFAC %~ ANR %~ UM-2015-2021 %~ UM-EPE
