migrating from IB to ESA

Hi
Could someone please shed some light on this for me.

I like many others on this forum are becoming more and more stressed about the migration process from IB to ESA.

I receive IB, i was awarded HRC + HRM DLA for an indefinate period.

Migrating over to ESA i believe you receive the letter around the time of your review however i have had no review date due to HRC DLA.

As many of us out there ~ I am very confused with the process and i am reading about peoples experiences and i am becoming more and more stressed every day worrying about it.

My husband receives Pension Credits and Carers Allow. and was speaking to a member of CAB and was told that if I was to cease claiming IB that he could claim for me as PC do deduct what i get in IB from his PC, this would save the trauma and ease the stress HOWEVER what he forgot to ask was
a) would i be penalised for simply just ceasing my claim for IB?
is it that straight forward?
C) when can i expect my migration letter?

HAS he been given the correct information? can anyone help me please.

Thanking you in advance Dove

Hi Dove,

There really doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to when and why the migration process is started

When will I be transferred?

The Transfer Process

If you are thinking about stopping your claim for IB, I strongly recommend that you get face-to-face from someone who understands the benefits system so that you can be sure you are doing the right thing
