Succesful migration from IS to ESA

I can't express just how much relief I'm feeling since I got my ESA85A yesterday and it advises I'm put in the support group for 18 months. And I didn't have to have a face to face assessment either.
In the reasons it gives it mentions the letters I sent them from my GP and psychiatrist. I had approached my care providers prior to sending the ESA50 in and all in all I sent in 6 letters of support. One each from GP, psychiatrist, community psych nurse, occupational therapist and one each from 2 friends who know how I'm affected.
I would definitely advise anyone else going through this process to marshall as much evidence as possible to send in with the ESA50 - it really paid off for me.
