Had a letter for my claim from ESA and i am a bit confused about it ,
its says ," From 12 April 2023 the rates of social security will change. from 12 April 2023 your ESA will be £225.45 week. this is because of : a change in the rates of social security benefits.
from 5 July 2023 your ESA will be £149.05 a week . this is because of: a change in money coming in.
so i don't understand why it is reduced in July is this normal ?

That amount will be the Severe disability Premium. I note from another thread that you're claiming PIP. Is your PIP award due to end in July? If so then that will be why your benefit entitlement is due to change at that time. If your PIP continues then the SDP will also continue, if you're still entitled to it.

I sent everything off last year around the beginning of December, normally i get a letter back from the PIP if my claim is still awarded but i have not had any letter yet, they do normally take a few months to send a reply back, should i ring them regarding the PIP claim or just wait for them to reply?0

thanks for your help its always a worrying time when you don't know what the out come will be, They have normally been sending my PIP renewal forms out every 3 years and i noticed i normally get a telephone assessment not to long after sending them forms off, I was expecting at lest another PIP assessment much sooner, I don't know if they will do an assessment this time i sure hope not as i dreed having them, I think my PIP would have been ended well before 5 July 2023 so i am thinking they might have extended it because of the back log.0

I completely hear your worry and dread @Peter234. This is more a reflection of the difficult situation than you as a person.
Is there anything, in particular, that might help things to feel more manageable for you at the moment and less worrying?
Please don't hesitate to let us know how things go and if there's anything we can do to support you further in the meantime0
