Evening guys and gals.

I have posted some information regarding The End of ESA.

I know John pring from DNS and we just had a nice chat and he has given me permission to post on this site, I have also credited his story surrounding these issue.

So please post it please it may give people a little hope. Thanks

Gordon it was posted in the News section. Waiting approval..

End of ESA reassessments for some chronically ill claimants.

The government has confirmed that sick and disabled people who will soon be spared reassessments for out-of-work benefits will still face repeated testing for personal independence payment (PIP).

A DWP spokeswoman said the criteria would be based on identifying claimants who have a condition that is: lifelong; severe (in “functional terms”); “often progressive and incurable”; with “no realistic prospect of recovery”; and results in high and “minimally fluctuating” care needs, “such that it would be unreasonable to expect the individual to undertake any form or amount of work or work-related activity”.

The exemption will only apply to claimants in the ESA support group – for those with the highest barriers to work – and not to anyone in the work-related activity group (WRAG), while the same criteria will apply to those who claim the equivalent of ESA through the new universal credit.

Hope this helps clarify.
