Linking in rule.

Having previously been in the ESA support group i managed to get a job that i could do within my capabilities. Unfortunately i had to go back on ESA understanding with the linking in rule i would go onto the same benefits when i came off.
At first i was told no, then after many phone calls i was informed that the time limit for linking in was being reviewed and i had to wait for a decision. Not being content with that i kept pressing and the latest answer is that i need to have another medical before a decision can be made.
I would be interested if anyone has had similar problems.

Yep, I also went to work for 6 weeks, then found I could no longer cope; ESA have told me that I shall get £65.45, and in December it will go up to £94.25, I am on highest rate mobility, lower rate care, I have been told after many phone calls that I too shall be attending a medical to see what group I should be put into, I thought linking rules were for people like us that tried and failed working, thus being put straight back onto the benefit rate we left, I supplied a "Fit Note" all my medical history, a cover letter and even my DLA decision after going to Tribunal.....

Success at last.

Having continually hitting a brick wall with the DWP I complained to my local MP.
The result was a letter from the DWP admitting the processor handling the claim had misinterpreted their guidance.
Strange how everyone misinterpreted the guidance for 18 weeks.
My award was backdated.

Well done Towser
