family member had an IB review date of 21st of december but is yet to receive the IB50 form through the post.on other two occasionns their case has come up for review the IB50 form as arrived a couple of days after the review date.

so i was just wondering whether some of these IB renewal medicals are being overlooked with the ESA transaction date getting nearer and nearer.

thanks.

The original intention was to start the IB transfer in March, however, due to delays in making the necessary software changes to the system the start has been delayed until April.

It is likely that some IB renewals will be delayed to allow an early transfer, but it also likely that some will be postponed until later.

Where yours fits in, is I am afraid, anybodies guess.

thanks

Sir,

Please could you post a link with further information about this delay. I have been unable to find anything by using Google.

Many thanks,

Have a look at the following DWP site

transparency.number10.gov.uk/transparency/srp/view-srp/42/77

Section 1.3 "Reassess IB" shows the start date as April 2011.

There is also an entry in the Members Only News section of B&W.

"IB to ESA move faces delay already" dated 7/12/10.
