ib and esa

bal

Part of the IB to ESA transfer process is that there will be no more IB assessments, the next assessment you will have will be when you are transferred to ESA.

ESA has no equivalent of the spouse allowance, however, your payments are guaranteed to be no less under ESA than they were with IB, so if required, you will receive an additional amount on top of your ESA, to make up the difference. This will remain in payment while you remain eligible for ESA(CB) or until 2020, this amount will be eroded each year, as your ESA payments increase, until you are left just receiving ESA.
