Dear Sir or Madam,
What preportion of those currently on Long Term IB is it expected
will be placed the ESA Support group on migration from IB to ESA?
It appears that the process used for medicals is flawed with many
not being placed in the support group only to be placed there on
appeal.
Does this mean that the test as it stands isnt fit for purpose as
it effectively only allows for a yesor no answer and ignores
factors such a fluctuating conditions and factors such as fatigue
and chronic pain and the impact they can have on a persons ability
to work ?
Yours faithfully,
J. Mackwell
