I have read recently on this site that exempt claimants are to be sent the esa form amongst the first (really first). However my best friend tells me that previously this site mentioned exempt people would be come after last. So is it 100% sure theyr coming after us 1st. It matters to me as Im exempt my health problems give me great lack of sleep probs which make it r hard to decide when I go to gp next to make sure she knows my case and have great prob filling in forms so need to know when to do it by go to gp who I havent seen in long time cos my lack of sleep makes me put off things so anybody know if I have to see gp and plan case again or is alright to wait as exempt folk will be come 4 last so which is it r exmpt folk 4 sure being come 4 ast or are they gon come for us last ?

Hi A Kaplan

I'm afraid exempt claimants will be near the front of the queue to be reassessed. Please see this months B&W newsletter below.

ahh but as the person said from the DWP

" We expect " :laugh: they expect lots of things at the DWP

but things change very fast, I had a call from a senior manager the other day in request to info on IB change for War Pensioners I said what I too had read here and she laughed and said it could be years before they got to me ... she had my file on screen too and knew I was exempt IB50

I had this call in respons to part of my dealings with my MP over the pre 95 tax problems and Unemply supp of war pension

I think the only thing we know for sure is we will get moved some day

I don't think anybody really knows who will be migrated to ESA first, not even the DWP.

In my opinion everything is pure speculation at this stage, but I would always operate on the basis that anyone could be first for migration, and therefore nothing can be taken for granted. As I have said previously, to be forewarned is to be forearmed, and members of B & W at least have an advantage over the vast majority of sickness/disability claimants.

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems
