Hi SW,

As you are in receipt of HRC, you are PCA Exempt with regard to IB.

IB is now defunct as a benefit to new claimants, so as you say, due to your date of SRA, you should remain IB PCA Exempt until then.

CB IB has no such 12 months time limit, that is pertenent to Con/ESA only.

So you should be left in peace until you hit SRA.

cheers
