Migration from ESA to UC - are the DWP speeding this up?
I read about a year ago that the timeframe of moving claimants from ESA to UC was being sped up. Previously, it was 2028/2029, but I wonder if that has now officially changed? I see in the ESA threads on this forum that quite a few people are asking about ESA to UC migration, and wondered if this is due to the DWP speeding…

However having read a few threads on here I realised that I get P60u every year which states taxable amount. Does it mean that part of my ESA is Contribution based?

"Official Errors Arrears of £5000 or more" Oh no!
I try to manage my money. It's alway seen going over £6000 as a thing I NEVER want to do because of having to deal with people (no) and money (no) and whatever it (no) entails. But I just came home to a Brown Envelop that had this bombshell inside. DWP have said they owe me this error arrears (just over £5000) and it's in…
