    Sorry but I’m confused by your comment. What dates exactly does it say in the letter? 

    Support Group is an ongoing award until a new decision says otherwise and it doesn’t just stop anyway. 

    Are you claiming a disability benefit yourself and does your partner claim Carers allowance for looking after you?

    What amounts does it say? Are there any deductions from your ESA for anything?

    Are you sure this is the annual updating letter?

    Sorry but I have no idea. What are the dates exactly in the letter?

    It’s extremely difficult to advise based on such limited information and I can’t see the letter.
     
    If it is the uprating letter then I’m afraid you will need to ring ESA to ask them.

    It seems like they just sent you confirmation of your current award. Not the uprating letter. 

    I’m afraid you will need to wait for the uprating letter to arrive. It’s still only mid Feb so plenty of time for it to arrive yet. I still haven’t had mine. 

    I realise you want that letter but you need to have patience and wait a little longer, you will receive it at some point.

    If it helps your weekly rate from April will be £219.70… £439.40/fortnight.

    You need to wait for the uprating letter to be sent to you. Ringing ESA to ask them to send it isn't helpful because they will only send this years rates, which is what you received. As I keep advising, there's plenty of time to receive the uprating letter.
