slow down IB to ESA conversion ?
It seems to me that decisions on IB to ESA conversion are taking longer now for my clients. Clients are still waiting after 4 months after submission of ESA50. And I still have clients on IB or IS on grounds of disability who have not even received their ESA50s yet. Has anyone else experienced a slow down? Or clients still to be assessed? I am getting a bit worried about the prospect of a pile up of ESA50s and/or ESA appeals.
In the April statistical report of the conversion, 93% were done and I’d expect them to be reducing the staff on the conversion teams and hence delays will happen more frequently once again.
We’ve still got quite a lot of people on IS, but balancing that is teh glut of short notice conversion appeals walking through my door!
