ESA was created by karen232
Hi, just had a letter to say i will get a phonecall within two weeks about changing fron IB to ESA. I have a chronic back condition, I am in agony all day and night. I get all my prescriptions every month but rarely see the doctor. How do i prove that I am what i say I am. I do use a wheelchair as walking a few steps is to much pain. I have care 10hours a week from social services. I often look in pain but I also look well?? im 41 and have been ill since I was 28.
I have not told them that I also have a sever case of chrons disease and have had a stoma for nearly two years, Im still waiting for the condition to calm down to have an operation to reverse the stoma. Where do i start, I cant think straight or remember anything.

You might want to have a look at the following
The Transfer Process
and these FAQs
IB/IS/SDA transfer FAQs
Sometime after the phone call (about two weeks), you will receive an ESA50 questionnaire to complete, you will have four weeks to do this and return it to ATOS.
The best place to start is to go through our ESA guides, these explain the ESA50 questions in more detail and offer advice as to how you can complete them based on your condition(s).
You might want to see your GP to see whether they will help you and to what extent, as providing medical evidence with your ESA50 will help your claim.
If you have any specific questions, please reply to this topic.
