migrated from IB to ESA with no medical

Just wanted to say a massive thankyou to everyone who contributes to this site!!

I have just received notification today that I have successfully migrated from IB to ESA without having to have a medical I have also been placed in the Support Group.

I followed all the guidance given for completing my forms (I was getting In a bit of a state worrying about the prospect of medicals and losing my benefits) Now I can relax again and just concentrate on my health issues instead.

I'm unsure how long they will leave me alone for ? It does not say on the letter (I had brain surgery in 2007, suffered a stroke during the surgery and have very poor mobility & balance issues....I have also been recently diagnosed with Lupus which is causing some severe problems at the moment )

I feel I may sleep a little easier tonight thanks to the brilliant people on this site!

Hi cd,

That is really good news !!!!

Thank you for letting us know, and thanks for the positive comments regarding B&W.

The prognosis of the SG award will not be on the decision notice letter.

You can ring the DWP to find this out, they may have the prognosis on-screen.

If you wish written confirmation, you can request this by issuing a SAR :
