New medical test questionaires was created by micksville
I haven't been on much this month as I have been trying to digest all the upcoming changes. As we all know the Incap to ESA transfer is to begin in either February or March (does anyone know the exact date/month yet)?
Regarding the proposed new and harsher medical tests as favoured by Yvette Cooper and seemingly adopted by IDS, is there any news on when this will be formally announced and when can we expect to see the new questionaires? It would be a great help to study them asap. Thanks.

Read the Work Capability Assessment review sometime ago with new ways of adding up to 15

When does that take over from the way for example the test on this site works ?

ta in advance.

Hi Dave,

probably the end of March 2011, just before the migration from IB to ESA begins - though it may be February.

I thought they were doing the trials in Aberdeen first.

Is any one here from Aberdeen who can confirm this, and let us know how they think they are going.
