I have secondary progressive MS and have been on IB for 8 years. Having got my esa50 and now ive read all the ESA info on the members area I think I will be put in the WRAG. I cant face filling in the form and going through the ordeal of the medical, so my questions are

If I dont return the form does the DWP assume im one of the "scroungers" they have got rid of and just stop my IB or can they back date it and ask for money back.

And, does this then get passed onto the DLA and they look at my indefinite award of HRMA and MRCA.

I just feel like stopping my DLA now and getting out of the system, its too stressful.

Thanks

Hi CalB

If you don'r return the forms as requested, its possible you claim(s) will be closed.

Its impossible to say if this will affect your DLA.

The guides produced by B&W should assist you in claiming but if you are finding it difficult to to use them, may I suggest that you seek immediate help from one of the Agencies below, that might be in a position to assist you face to face -

Where to get advice?
