    Thank you Alex, I feel really welcome here, you have no idea how relieved I felt when Poppy told me I would staying on my contributions ESA and not UC if they still deem me unfit for work.

    I read that the DWP send a letter when they change claimants over to new style ESA but I never got one.
    Because you are still on the old ESA - therefore you haven’t had a letter.
    So long as I don't lose out. I don't want to be rich, I just don't want to be unable to afford to live in my modest flat, as I like it here.
    I already advised that New style ESA pays the same as your current ESA so you won’t lose out. 
    Thanks again, sorry to worry so much. I moved here to relocate from abuse and have this irrational fear of having to go back to abuse, through no longer being able to afford to live here, I love it here.
