ESA and full time students Thu 14-May-09 09:39 AM
Wonder if anyone can clarify this for me - I'm sure it's straightforward(!). If an existing full time disabled student in receipt of IS or IB is reassessed under the ESA medical regime and awarded ESA and not getting DLA what would happen to their course? Is there any transitional protection for existing students? Any help much appreciated.

The issue of transitional protection for those migrated over is unknown as yet because before a person can be migrated over secondary legislation has to be laid and this has not been done yet.
