Being transferred from IB to ESA

Thanks for your help Gordon. I am finding this so confusing.

I am going to fill in the form on my wife's behalf and sign it to confirm that I completed it for her. This might sound like a silly question but when I complete it do I complete as if it was her saying the things ie "I can't do such and such" or would I complete it by saying "my wife can't do such and such" as it is me filling out the form?

Thanks,
Snow

Hi SB,

It is fine to write in either "person", as long as you make it clear on the form which "person" you are writing in, and why.

Hi i posted my form on the 31st October last year and got a decision in the post yesterday 2nd February.

Thanks Bro, appreciate your advice.

Aleia, can I ask you what the result of your decision was and when (if at all) you had to attend a medical?

Thanks
Snow

Hi Snow

I attached previous med reports that dated back over 5 years - in my case my condition is progresive, so about 3 years ago I told my Consultant that she didn't need to send me copies of reviews that she sent to my GP. I did drop my consultant a line to advise that I had received a form that may have required me to attend an assessment, a copy of which I also sent with my ESA50. I can only assume that DWP/ATOS took this information on-board, as I was migrated across to ESA Support Group from IB with no medical assessment.

Good luck! Shauny
