Income Support

I have recently completed an A2 review form. Within a week of receiving an outcome I was sent a letter saying the benefit I am receiving is changing. I am nw being assessed for Employment and Support allowance. They are going to telephone to discuss the changes.What is going on? First they tell me that I am continuing my benefits then own the other hand I am told I am having a work placed assessment. I am now terribly frightened that I may have my benefi reduced or taken away.

Hi J53,

The issuing of the A2 review form with respect to your IS, is probably a totally seperate event to the start of your migration process, from IS to ESA, which seems to have started.

As it appears that you are relatively new to the forum, and just in case that you haven’t already done so, it may help if you read :
