esa(ir) How long

Hi All

Have been looking for info on how long esa(ir) continues for ? can anyone help with an answer please.
As we know the time scale for esa(cb) is 365 days.
any info would be appreciated.

Thanks, Derekq

Hi derekq,

(IR) ESA is not subject to any time limitation

Hi Mrs Hurtyback

Thanks for the reply,I assume they keep making you have regular medicals in order to keep your (IR)esa status.
As even people who get into the SG still get draged in for regular medicals.

Yes derekq, one of the tenets of the Welfare Reform Bill is that no-one will be allowed to 'languish' on benefits without reassessment.
