The Envelope has arrived

Well peeps the dreaded envelope (and it was brown) has arrived - despite desperate attempts to keep my head down and prayers I may have dropped off the system.

I am on income support for ill health reasons and actually my medical was due April 2011 so I guess I dont have that much to complain about but I was so hoping I wouldn't have to go through the ESA transfer.

Anyway looks like I am back on the horrible stressful slippy slope of being ordered to jump through hoops and then being punished for doing so

I have used this site in the past and been massively grateful for the sheer support that is offered - I have been away for a time while everything was ticking over devoting my energies (what little of them I have)to finding ways of getting totally away from this hell circus (including but not limited to finding a very rich husband). I suspect my blood pressure has already gone up since saturday when the news arrived and things will get worse before they get better.

Glad to say hello to everyone again although I would prefer doing so under different circumstances.

Hi,

Sadly almost all IS/IB claimants will be migrated to ESA at some point. Hence it was really a matter of 'when' not 'if'.

However do make use of the guides in the members area and try to obtain as much supporting evidence as possible.

Good luck.

Pete

Hello and welcome. I hope that the transfer goes smoothly for you.

Yeah I know I was living in cuckoo land hoping it wouldnt happen but it was the best way I could find not to worry before I had too.

I hope the transfer goes smooth too - however experience tells me that is as unlikely as them missing me in the first place lol
