Reassessments for Employment and Support Allowance
Could anyone advise what the current state of affairs are regarding reassessments for ESA?

Budgeting loan
I recently applied for a budgeting loan, and I’ve just had a reply stating “they need more time to make a decision and I will get a reply in 21 days”. I’ve NEVER had this before. It’s always, apply online, then an email from them with an offer within a few days, and then get money a few days after that. I’m now panicking,…

DWP- what a joke.
I responded to a DWP letter over 4 months ago now and still have had no reply. I have rung DWP on 4 occasions, and waited about an hour to get through each time. You get through to an agent, obviously working from home, who takes your information, says she will pass it on and someone will get back to you. No one ever has.…
