In the past when I moved I had to reapply for the same benefits all over again. My question is, if I move will I have to reapply for ESA AND will I have to have another medical? Thanks guys.
You shouldn't have had to reapply for any social security benefits again, other than housing and/or council tax benefit administered by the local authority, which may have to be reassessed depending on the rent for a property (if appropriate), and/or the local council tax rates.
ESA would certainly not be affected by any potential move, and you will not be required to claim again. The file will simply be transferred to the new JCP/benefit delivery office. Furthermore, you will not have to submit to any additional medical assessments.
