IB to SG No medical

Just heard that I have been transfered from IB to ESA support group with no medical. I don't think that I could have done it without these wonderful guides. It was hard work, but especially the advice to use the online pdf ESA50 was a great help, as I could do it a bit at a time, and edit as necessary.

The letter that I received from JC+ had no mention of the length of the award, so I rang JC+ who said it was for a year. I also asked for any documents used in the decision making process.

Whilst I am obviously very relieved to have been awarded ESA, I note from the letter that the award begins on the 29th May, whilst the decision was made on 25th April, so there is a month of IB rates, before the new rate kicks in, so I won't get a full year at the higher rate before I am reassessed.

Well done on getting the decision you deserved Thanks for letting us know, and for your kind words about this site.

Great News ST,

Thanks for the positive feed back.

Just a question about when I will be reassessed. The person I spoke to said that the decision to award ESA Support group for 1 year had been made on 25th April. This was a transfer from IB to ESA that had been going on for a while. Will that date of 25th April be the date from which the 1 year is calculated?

Also I don't get the full ESA rate until 29th May, so I will have a full month at the old IB rate. Is this normal practice?
