Hi @steve51 iv not been notified about anything I didn't know whether I could question my claim but looking at forums a lot of people have been placed in groups yet I'm still in stage 1 so it seems any help will be appreciated0

Hi @dandan4ever
I have found you some info about "esa"
There are 3 Types of Esa.
1. New Style.
2. Contribation - Based.
3. Income Based.
I can sort out more details out for you on all 3 Types if required?????

As you're on assessment rate and still sending in sick notes then you're not one of those, i'm afraid.Having said that 5 years is an extremely long time to still be on assessment rate. You really do need to ring DWP to ask them what's going on and tell them that you've never been assessed and that you're still on assessment rate. It maybe a scary process but this is your only option. DWP are open until 6pm.0

Hi @dandan4ever
We have got a "Benefit Calculator" on our site this might be helpful for you???

Please please let me know how you feel????0 -
A benefits calculator will not help in this situation.

Thanks for your advice guys I guess I'm just going to have to speak to them as a bit of support would be nice too thank you xxxx0

@dandan4ever Did you fill in an ESA 50 form in at some point? Five years waiting for an assessment is not normal.
