From IB to ESA Wrag

Just wanted to let you know that I asked for an explanation of their decision and then followed up by asking for a mandatory reconsideration as I felt that the decision was wrong and I sent a letter explaining why.
I have had a phone call today telling me that they are overturning the original decision and I am being placed in the support group - I am so relieved!
I am so grateful for all the helpful guides and information on this site and thought it may be helpful to someone to know my outcome.

Hi e,

That is really good news !!!!

Thanks for letting us know.

Once you receive the written decision notice letter informing you of the SG award, you can ring the 0845 number on the letter to find out the recommended period before you are reassessed. (The Prognosis)

Hi,
I asked on the telephone how long the decision was for and they said 2 years.

Hi e,

In that case, you should expect to receive a new ESA50 for reassessment 2-3 months before the end of the 2 year period.

Don't forget, as you were placed into The SG as the result of an MR, the SG award will be back dated to the time of the original WRAG award.
