Hi Treanor,

My apologies this post wasn't answered sooner.

By 2011 all medicals will be for ESA rather than incapacity benefit.

However, claimants who reach pensionable age before the end of March 2014 will not be migrated to ESA, they will stay on their current benefits.

Would this apply to you?

Good luck,

Steve
