Just a quickie...

Hi,

My IB is due to be reviewed in March. Will I be assessed for ESA?

Having read all the horror stories, I have to admit I'm not exactly looking forward to this. I've just completed my DLA renewal form too arrrrgh.

    No one can say for sure yet. It is possible, but if you are over 25 I would imagine that, if you are reviewed quickly, you will be assessed for IB. However, reviews in some areas are massively delayed, so it could be another six months until you even receive your IB50 form, in which case they may be actively transferring people by then.
    Gone ... or have I?
