IB to ESA...no money after 6 months? was created by choogle
When those on IB get migrated to ESA (or JSA) will their entitlement to ESA (Conts) run out 6 months (26 weeks) after migration if they have a working partner or a decent amount of savings?

If a claimant is migrated to ESA(CB) there is no time limit for the award, so long as the conditions of entitlement are met.

If a claimant is transferred to JSA(CB) this will last 26 weeks, and thereafter JSA(IB) which is means-tested will apply, but only if a claimant can meet the conditions of entitlement.

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