Congratulations on winning your IB appeal. Does that mean you have automatic conversion to support group for ESA or do you have to go through it all again?

Our current understanding of the process is that the only group that may be tranferred to the Support Group are those IB claimants who are exempt from the PCA, however, this has not been confirmed.

We are expecting the vast majority of IB claimants to have to complete an ESA50 and attend a WCA medical.

To qualify for the ESA Support Group you need to meet one or more of the criteria, a full list of these can be found on page 25 of the Understamding ESA document in the Members area.
