IB TRANSITION TO ESA MEDICAL QUESTION. was created by bluejay52
Hello all.

Im just wondering if you could possibly answer this question.
A great friend of mine who suffers from numerous conditions too many to mention,had her ESA medical.(7 weeks ago).

She rang the DWP today and asked what is happening and was told that she had passed her "medical"-and nothing else no WRAG/Support Group-nothing!.Whats the differance between pass and fail?

It is worth mentioning that she is of pensionable age.
Has anyone else heard of this?.

Thank You. :S

From what you have posted, your friend should contact the DWP again.

If, as you say they have reached State Pension Age (SPA), then two things stand out from your post.

First, they should not have been trasnferred from IB to ESA as anyone reaching SPA before 06/04/2012 was specifically exempted from the transfer.

Secondly if your friend has reached SPA, then they are no longer eligible for ESA as they should now be in receipt of their State Pension.
