Hi everyone.

Ive just had a letter from the DWP regarding transfer from IB to ESA.
I have also received the dreaded phone call,explaining to me what it is (as if I didnt know).
In the converstion the VERY nice man said if I fill the form in correctly I will not need to attend a medical- only if they need further information-????.

BUT! In the future I will be expected to attend work focused interviews regularly-have you heard of this before?

Thank you.....

WFIs are a mandatory requirement for members of the Work Related Activity Group, but not the Support Group.

You can read about WFIs in the Understanding ESA guide in the Members Only area.

Another DWP employee talking though his backside!

Not only is what he told you self-contradictory but he is effectively saying that you will be placed in the WRAG without even receiving your ESA50 for a decision to be made!

It would be interesting to see some up to date statistics on this and

on how many people pass on reassessment (ESA to ESa). Know where there might be some?

Best wishes,
Rachel

DWP statistics are at least six months in arrears, so we won't be seeing any details on the new WCA, the IB transfer, and the Harrington changes until November 2011 :(
