Hi I have been claiming contibution based esa since the 10th november 2010, i have been diagnosed by my gp as having ulnar neuropathy in my left hand and i see the consultant in feb about it, the note i sent to the dwp was for 6 weeks and this morning i received a IB40 to fill in and wondered if this is the norm to have received this so quickly and also they have mentioned a medical but not yet actually asked me to go any advice or help would be appreciated so i know what to expect as i have never claimed this before.

Thanks.
