incapacity credits transfer to esa credits ?

Terry wrote: hi not sure if this is the correct place to put this ,but i have recieved a letter telling me that my income support is changing, the usual letter for this esa change over

but i do not recieve incapacity benifit, but my stamp is credited via incapacity.

i get income support as im a carer for my wife,and not for incapacity, but they say i have to transfere over to esa, as incapacity benifit is no longer about

what i need to know is

i thought that i would be excempt this as im not claiming incapacity benifit, i only get my stamp credited from them

and buy the fact that i get cares allowance it shows that im a carer ( i was on incapacity back in 93 when i was ill ,but then my wife became ill and had brain tumours removed and i started looking after her and was paid income support )

im getting income support for caring for my wife,


have tried to find answers but one call centre says one thing and another says another

anyone know the answer

thanks in advance
