Thanks for all the advice.
I have just received an ESA3 to fill in after enquiring about IR ESA.

Just some quick questions if don't mind, does this mean my whole claim will be looked at again and I could be called for a medical? and will my ESA (CB) stop and put to IR

On the form it asks things like name of doctor who signs your medical statements, as I don't have sick notes anymore and haven't for years do I just put my usual g.p details in or leave.

Think I am possibly over thinking it and worrying too much but the whole thing gets makes me extremely panicked and don't think straight.

Any advice would be much appreciated :) :)

Many Thanks


Switching from ESA(CB) to ESA(IR) does not in itself require a re-assessment, you should be re-assessed again based on the date in your computer file, you can find this out by contacting the DWP.

Hi cc53,

Yes, the ESA3 only assesses you financially to see whether you are entitled to IR ESA, it will not be a reassessment of your capabilities.

The ESA50 is used to assess/reassess your capabilities for work or work related activity.

As Gordon states, the timing of your next ESA WCA will be in line with the prognosis of your current award, and should begin a few months before the end of said prognosis.
