IB to ESA

Having waited 7 stressful months for a reply to my completion of the esa50 form to migrate from incapacity benefit to employment and support allowance I received a phone call today from dwp to inform me I have been placed in the support group with no medical they made their decision on how I completed the form and additional evidence from gp and my consultant. I cannot begin to describe the relief I feel at the moment. I joined benefit and works last year and cannot thank you enough for the invaluable support you give with your guides and advice long may you continue.

That is good news! Thank you for letting us know - and for your kind words about the site
