Does anyone know of the CAB are making a fuss about the 12 month time limiting of contribution basded ESA ?

Also, whilst the change was announced in the Comprehensive Spending Review, does anhyone know if its legislation yet ?

There are going to be probably more than half a million effected by it, quite a percentage of the total caseload.

It just seems to be a side issue media wise, lots of talk about the Universal Credit as a concept and talk about housing benefit, but that m,aybe half a million will totally lose benefit, doesn't get a mention

So, does anyone have any answers ??

Hi xfactor, I haven't found anything useful coming from the CAB recently (my opinion)

and yes loads of people will lose their ESA completely once their year on contributory ESA is up.

Chris Grayling is asked a lot of questions about this group here:

Best wishes,

I'm mortified that there hasn't been more fuss made over this issue too. It's going to bring extreme poverty to a huge section of the populace who due to no fault of their own are unlucky enough to be ill or disabled.

Once again I'm totally disgusted with this government. They're making me ashamed to be British.

Thanks Rachel, Dave, and Just me .

Hopefully the issue will raise its head
soon, because at the moment it seems the forgotten and by far the biggest change of the reforms

Trouble is like all these rushed through reforms, by the time the public wake up to whats going on It will be far too late.
