I'm waiting for a call back about this from the Job Centre. Anyone else had this problem? What might have happened?

    Forgive my stupidity, I'm not sure if I've read your post wrong but how did you not realise the payments had stopped back in December? :huh: What have you been living on if you haven't been receiving your IB?

    Was going to ask the same. Did they transfer you without any form filling/face to face assessment?

    Did you not even receive an ESA 50 form to fill in? Does anyone know if they are transferring without forms now? :eek:

    There are very, very limited circumstances where an ESA Decision can be made without an ESA50 being issued, but it can happen.

    So did you get a letter telling you that you'd been transferred or was it a mistake and you haven't been transferred over?

    When your life is a mess, stop and think what you are doing before bringing more kids into it, it's not fair on them.
