ESA3 Query was created by Gareth56
Following a successful IB to ESA reassessment I received the result letter together with an ESA3 form with a covering slip suggesting that if I need to I can claim IR ESA. However my circumstances prevents me from claiming IR ESA therefore do I still have to fill this ESA3 form out?

You do not need to complete the ESA3, but I would still drop them a note explaining that you are not going to complete it and why, the DWP does not handle loose ends very well. :)

Thanks Gordon

I was just a tad concerned that after being moved over to ESA from IB I wouldn't get paid unless I sent this ESA3 back!

Now that I've been moved from IB to ESA Support Group I will get paid my new ESA rate won't I even though I won't return this ESA3?

Tad worried I won't get paid :unsure:

You are being paid ESA(CB) as you were transferred from IB, there is nothing on the ESA3 that should affect that, but as I originally posted, I would recommend your sending the DWP a letter stating that you are not returning it, just for completeness.

I haven't recvieved my first ESA payment yet the bloke who rang me to tell me my WCA result said ESA will be start being paid in April. He did say that they would be sending me an ESA3 in case I needed to claim any extra money which in my case I don't or rather can't.
