Confused about IB/ESA/Means testing

Sorry if I'm sounding a bit slow on this but I'm still confused even though I have read your ESA guides. I have been on IB for the last 15yrs. When I get moved over to ESA I doubt I will be in the support group but likely the one below. Am I right in thinking that if/when I am that this benefit will be paid to me for only a year & thereafter will be means-tested, which as my husband works full time will mean no benefit ? Would appreciate some clarification, thanks.

Thanks for your reply, I was afraid that would be the answer. Any idea when this is to come into force & is there any chance of a change of Government in the meantime, or is that just wishful thinking. There are going to be so many people worse off. Between that , child benefit, tax credits & university fees it's going to impact on so many border line families.

Hi - I apologise, I have had a look at the members IB advice & now have a clearer picture of time scales - not a prety picture either. I do hear people saying they believe this Government won't last, but even if they didn't it seems unlikely these changes won't proceed.

I'm in a similar position receiving IB and occupational pension (from 1998). I understand time limiting ESA CB in the WRAG group but will I also, within that year, be penalised for having an occupational pension (at the moment I'm not) I understand I will get nothing under eligibility for ESA IR. A year's grace would be better than nothing!
