hello everyone if you are on incapacity benefit and higher rate care allowance do you have the new esa medical or do you go straight into the support section of esa .
There's no automatic exemption from a medical when people on DLA(HRC) are migrated to ESA.
However, there are some exemptions from a medical for ESA, which you can find in our guide to claiming ESA. Also, not all migrations will be subject to a medical, since the DWP decision makers will look at what evidence they have and decide whether a medical is necessary. In relation to some people on IB, it will be evident from the information on file that they are eligible for ESA.
