Hi Gordon, despite reading lots of articles on this website, along with numerous posts, I was under the impression that you had to go on to JSA after a year on ESA!!
Many thanks for teaching me even more!!
Not that I relish ever having another ATOS medical!!

Hi Fedup
I think you are confusing a couple of things. not difficult at the moment, consdiering the number of changes being made by the Government
The proposed changes to ESA, as far as I am aware they have not been passed through the House of Commons, althought there is little doubt that they will, will limit the time that Contribution Based ESA will be paid to claimants in the WRAG, but not the Support Group, to one year, after this time and subject to a means test, claimants can continue to receive Income Related ESA.
I know it will be of no value to those affected, but your right to ESA would not be removed, just the actual payment.
Hope this explains it.
