Is it normal I haven't been notified yet?

I'm on IB and haven't yet been notified about transferring to ESA.. considering they said everyone whos on IB will be transferred to ESA by the start of 2014 they are pushing it?

Yes quite normal. Simply because there are so many appeals now going back into the system. You may even get a paper assessment and no ESA50 to fill out. However you should at least get a letter telling you when the process will start.

I got a letter today from Jobcentre plus just about the general increase in benefits in April.. (for my IB) that's all.

I just want it over with coz it's a big cloud hanging over me. It's hard to plan for anything too far in the future when you don't know what will happen.

Am I right in thinking that many claimants lately are getting transfered from IB to ESA without a medical? hopefully finally the DWP are listening and going easier on people.

There have certainly been some stating that on here, perhaps you will get that as well.
