New ESA letter with mysterious income
Today I have received a new letter from the DWP slightly adjusting my ESA down by 56p per week, referring to additional money coming in of £14.93, I don't know what that is, could this be the winter fuel payment or something?
Am not really bothered by the amount, it's not like I am short £2.24 per month, if I was short it wouldn't be only £2.24, it's like when they give out these increases it's usually 1-2 pounds as if that is keeping up with inflation.

Hi @MyHappy256. I'm not sure what that could be. Have you checked your accounts to see if there's something new coming in that you've missed?

The winter fuel payment isn’t means tested but you would only be entitled to that if you are of state pension age or above. ESA is a working age benefit so you wouldn’t be entitled to the WFP.
ESA letters are well known for making no sense at all. I’d advise you to ring them to ask what the deduction is for.

Thanks Rachel.
I thought it might have been something I am getting without realising it, I notice it says money coming in and not income.0
