I hope that you do not mind me asking but does anyone know the current waiting times for the results of the medical for the transfer from IB to ESA? I live in the South Wales area and had my medical six weeks ago but as yet have not heard anything.Is anyone else in the same position or should I be concerned and contact them with regard to the delay? Many thanks

See the following FAQ

How long until they make a decision?

Thank you Gordon.Its just that the waiting is really nerve racking at the best of times so I just wondered whether anyone else was in the same position? I have noted that a lot of people seem to have been migrated on completion of the form with no problem and without a medical. I have supplied a lot of evidence as per your excellent site and yet I am still waiting for my result.

I can understand the worry :)

The problem is that there really is no answer, the shortest response I've seen is just over a week, the longest is probably the best part of three months.

The only other thing I can suggest is that you contact your local DWP office for an update, the phone number should be on any correspondance you have had with regard to your claim.

Good luck

Please see this article from the benefit news section entitled "Ministers admit to ESA backlog."

Although this demonstrates the worst case scenario, it gives a good indication as to the extent of the backlog with ESA decisions.

Hello Crazy Diamond and thanks for that. I guess the truth of the matter is that I just cannot face ringing them to find out why there is such a delay.The explanation that you have both offered seems perfectly reasonable.Many thanks to you both for taking the time to reply to me.
