    No people are not sent the IB50 miles before the review date, it is usually sent just after the review date.

    I think nogin is getting mixed up with DLA which is sent up to 6 months before the renewal is due. The letter you have is correct.

    The review date is the date when they reveiw your new filled out form in 6 moNths time.
    Think out it what have they got to review! They have allready reviewed THE LAST FILLED OUT FORM
    The last review date for my IB was in a MAY. I recieved my forms to fill out in MARCH
    And i dont fill out forms for DLA as i have been classed as INDEFINITELY disabled.

    STICK THAT

    I have never come across this before.

    I hope the "STICK THAT" at the end of the letter is not directed at me. If it is it is rather rude and unecessary.

    Your very right! it was not constructive ,IT took me all morning to work out how to post a scanned photocopy i AM IN TOTAL AGONY just a kneejerk reaction to getting it right, ANYWAY LUCYLOCKET01 if she wished could try to appeal, i have helped several people to do this in the past with regards to the review period.

    So I got another letter this morning, same style envelope as my cheque comes in. It says on the back something about payment so I said to Hubby "This is definitely it!" So he sits next to me on the edge of the bed while I open it and it is a letter to request bank details. WHAT on earth is taking so long :( Every day Im worried as soon as I wake up incase the post has come and the letter is here! Getting too much now.
