re paying payments

I have been in the work related group of ESA since Sept 2009.Ihad my 2nd medical after 6 months to see if I could continue in this group but 6 weeks later still have heard nothing.My question is if I fail the medical will I have to repay the monies I am receiving at the the moment?Thank you.Peterth.

No, you won't have to repay any ESA, as the decision on your entitlement would only be from a current date.

What this means in effect, is that if your ESA entitlement is terminated, it will be from the date the decision letter is issued to you. The date of the medical is immaterial because the disability analyst's opinion is what is known as a determination, and only forms a part of the outcome decision. All the evidence to hand must be taken into account by the ESA decision maker.

thanks very much.that has eased my mind about that.just keep waiting now for the brown envelope to appear.regards peterth

The brown envelope arrived today and it was good news.I have been placed in the work related group again with a review april 2011 so a big thank you to all on this site for all the help you give with form filling etc.thanks again peterth
