    Its an obsolete benefit and you will soon be transfered to ESA, if it was a review you would already have the ESA50 form.

    No matter what the sickness benefit you hand in sick lines till they say otherwise or you lose the benefit.

    I know its obsolete but wouldnt i just be staying on it wth being on it before the reclaim. I have not recieved the form ESA50 the form that i had to fill in just asked me to tick boxes if i was recieving other benefits then had to signed it, and it was review was written on it.

    No all sickness benefit claimants are currently being transfered to ESA, you will get a ESA50 at some point as we all will, Im on invalidity and have been for 20 years and I will also be transfered.

    Ok thanks for your help i have been on sda for about 16yrs and last year i thought i would try and work part time as i get so fed up but because of my illness i had to pack the job in. I was told that i would get a reclaim which made me think that it would just be back to how it was before not having to send sick notes, i now feel that because i got a job it has messed everything up.

    I recieved a form about a month ago asking me what other benefits i was recieving and wrote on this it said review, so do you think that it is being reviewed now.
