Hi all, am hoping for some advice. I am in the support group for esa and up until November last year was a carer for my son. I stopped being his carer and submitted a form to do some permitted work (trying to take some control of my life) the permitted work started on the 4th Jan this year.
I received my usual esa on Wednesday 31/1/24 and this morning I have woken up to a payment of £648 from esa due for Monday. I have no idea what this is for and it’s stressing me out that I have been over paid? Has anyone had this before or know what the reason for it could be?
TIA 🙏🏼

My first thoughts are that even though you stopped claiming carers allowance were ESA still deducting the carers allowance from the ESA? If they were then they shouldn’t have been so this could be from that.
Either way, you will need to ring ESA on Monday to ask them what it’s for.1 -
Yes! I actually think they may have been. Because my payments didn’t change. Just stayed the same amount and the carers allowance stopped. I don’t think I actually knew they took money from your esa because of carers?0

Do you know how much they deduct from esa when you are a carer? I might be able to work it out then. Sorry to keep pestering you0
