    What group did they pop you into? If Support group - you will not need to attend any Work focused interviews.
    Am glad for you.

    Was it a printed letter or a form with tick boxes in a beige/grey colour?
    When I got my first letter it was the 2nd type and 3 pages long in 2 envelopes. One said I was in Support group, another said I was to be covered until 3 years to the same date as my medical and the last one just said I had passed said medical or Face to Face assessment. Oh and I got a bit about back dated pay mentioned as well. In fact the adjustment arrived the same day as the letters.
    I guess you may get another letter telling you how long in due course, but I should think it will be in the region of 3 years. Your payments should stay the same rate as they were under the previous benefit as there is transitional protection in place.
  • got pages one saying transfer to esa mind u every time its taken longer to hear back so sounds like u have better chance of no medical longer u wait this has been same u think get call then never do so fingers crossed it for few year then i will be happy carnt do with stress of not nowing that u are going to have money
