Many, many thanks to all at this site and the comprehensive guides you publish.
Using the guides I completed my ESA Claim form in July 09 (having failed the IB PCA which is still under appeal). I had a medical in Feb 10 (again avidly reading the guide before I went) and today got a phone call from the DWP letting me know I had been placed in the WFG and would be getting the extra money backdated from week 14 of my claim. She did say though that the paperwork could take some time to process as she is on her own and there are people infront of me in the queue who have been waiting longer than me!
I have been so stressed with all the waiting but at least I can relax for now - until the next time!
