esa while appealing -is it means tested?

esa while appealing -is it means tested? was created by faddywrite
Hi, I have sent off my form as I'm being moved from IB to ESA and I'm expecting a medical. If I am assessed as fit for work I would like to appeal as i have fibromyalgia and muscle fatigue and don't believe I could work. One thing worrying me is whether I would still get ESA at assessment rate while waiting for my appeal, as my husband earns £30,000. If I can, it's going to make it more likely I will appeal, and still manage to stay in our house!!
Thanks, what a great site and forum!

As you are currently receiving IB you should be entitled to Contribution Based ESA at the Assessment rate while you appeal.Hi, I have sent off my form as I'm being moved from IB to ESA and I'm expecting a medical.
