support group migrated from IB to ESA

I have just been migrated from IB to ESA - in Support group without a medical - a massive relief. The info on this site helped me to do the questionnaire so they could make an accurate decision. Whilst we knew I should be in the Support group I had ceased being naive enough to believe they would get in touch with my medical team to find out about how my illness and disability affects me.

Three questions (well just over!)

The decision maker never rang me to explain the decision so I am in the dark about what made them come to their decision. Should I ask them to tell me how they reached it? Is there a form for this?

Is it true that if being migrated from IB to ESA and having no deductions for pension as a result of higher rate DLA care that the same will apply for ESA. I understand that for new claimants straight to ESA lose 50 for every £1 over £85. But isnt it different for those being migrated?


It said on the notification that the amounts apply from later in Aug when I am migrated to November 2011. Should alarm bells be ringing that they will start the whole process again in a few months?

So I am smiling but uncertain!

Congratulations Suzanne in getting into the support group of Esa Well done.

Absolutely thrilled for you. Dont forget the enhanced disability allowance being in the support group.

If you have supplied all information required you have no need to worry.
