Re:I B to E S A Transfer

I've received a letter today to say I'm in the support group. On the final page there's a breakdown of the financial award and the dates 6th Nov 2013 - 26th Nov 2013. It has me worried as this is only a few weeks. I notice, though, that you say above that it is a DWP administration date. Can you clarify this a little as I'm unsure what this means for me.

Yes P9,

The November date is seen on many decision notices, and does confuse people.

It is purely for administration purposes, and has nothing to do with the recommended length of the award before reassessment. (The Prognosis)

It is tied in with payment of the Xmas Bonus, which is payable from the next pay week after the 26/11/13.

You should be able to ascertain the prognosis by ringing the 0845 number on the decision notice letter where they should be able to bring it up on their computer screens.

You could also request the ESA85 or ESA85A whichever is applicable whilst on the phone, but may have to back up this oral request in writing.

See :

ESA medical – what forms to ask for?

If you are to make a written request, there should also be an LT54 :

ESA Forms

I have given your query its own topic as I notice that you have tagged onto a topic that is over 18 months old.

Hi P9,

I almost forgot,

Congratulations on the SG award !!!

The maximum possible prognosis is 3 years, hopefully yours will be for that period. :

How often will I be reviewed

Thanks, Gordon. And thanks for the general and excellent advice on this site! It's been so helpful.

These dates are very confusing. One moment - and when reading page 1 - it was relief after what has been a lengthy process (7mths from start to finish); the next - and on the final page - it was back to the trepidation of these nerve-wracking months!
