I called ESA today and there is no change in the amount I'm being paid so there is no increase to my ESA?

Which group are you in and how much do you receive every fortnight? Are there any deductions for anything such as pensions, savings/capital, debt?

I'm in the support group as I have a incurable brain condition0

You haven't answered my other questions.. how much do you receive every fortnight? and are there currently any deductions for anything?
0 -
I receive 389.02 every fortnight no deductions0

I can’t work out what exactly that includes because everything I include just doesn’t add up to that amount. Maybe it’s just my brain not working this evening, it’s been a very long day.Can you post a breakdown of what your ESA includes? You should have received an uprating letter with everything on there.0

I'm not sure I'll get it out tomorrow I get a severe disability component but not sure of the rest I realised as well I'm paying £20 a fortnight for a budget loan so I get £409 fortnight0

This confirms your ESA hasn't increased. Your ESA now should be as follows..Living expenses £84.80SDP £76.40Disability Income Guarantee (EDP) £19.55Support Group amount £44.70Total weekly amount £225.45 ..fortnightly amount £450.90 before deductions.What did they say when you rang them? If you're not getting any joy when you ring them you can contact your local MP and ask them to contact ESA on your behalf. You will need to make sure you tell them what's happened. https://www.parliament.uk/get-involved/contact-an-mp-or-lord/contact-your-mp/
