New conversion notice
I don’t know if I’m actually the last one to come accross this but the DWP now have a new conversion notice which seems to comply with reg 4 of the conversion regs - dated last month: IBM350 08/12. They’ve pretty much scooped up s1(3) of the WRA and put that in there along with the sentance “If these conditions are not satisfied your existing benefit will not be converted to ESA and will stop”. It might be arguable that more explanation is needed (no mention of descriptors or what the phrase “limited capability for work” means but I think it would be a lot harder to convince a tribunal that it is not valid. Still I am going to show a copy to all the tribunals for my outstanding conversion appeals as I think it makes the argument that the old letter was not valid stronger.
