Hi, I am a new claim, rather than a transfer from IB. My claim started in October and I have my 'medical' next week.
If you want to check how things are going, you can always phone up and ask. i was told that my application was 'still in the pile' and would be dealt with in due course. I reckon that I prefer waiting rather than being told 'no'!
