Hi,Those that transferred from Incapacity benefit to ESA were automatically placed onto Contributions based ESA and weren't assessed for any income related top up.DWP have realised their mistake and are now contacting all those that maybe affected by this. The form you've received is because of the underpayment. You should fill it in with all of your daughters details, savings/capital ect and return it. If she's entitled to any income related top up it will be backdate to the date she qualified. The form is a good thing not a bad thing. Once it's been returned DWP will contact you once a decision's been made.0
