Hi everyone ,i recieved a small refund in December ,dwp said i had been on contribution based esa from 2011-2013 when they changed me over to contribution based esa .I recently applied for a budget loan and recieved a letter today stating i cant have one due to being on cont based Esa.The dwp have shot thereselves in the foot as i now have evidence that they now owe me a refund from 2013 .Will keep you updated.Theyre not getting away with it this time

Hi,I'm sorry but i'm confused. Being on contributions based ESA instead of Income Related as you should have been back in 2011-2013 isn't going to help you claim a budgeting loan now.As you have recently been refused may i ask what benefits you're claiming now and for how long? To claim a budgeting loan you must have been claiming a qualifying benefit for at least 26 weeks (6 months) without a break in your claim. 2013 was 6 years ago, if you are claiming a qualifying benefit now then you would have been accepted for the loan, so i'm confused.1

Hi i applied for a budget loan to get a refusal in writing stating which esa i was on,i was refused an esa refund from 2013, as dwp told me i was on income related from then ,ive been on cont based so they owe me the refund due from being put on cont based instead of income related .One dept eg dwp cannot have advisors saying we are not due a refund for being on a benefit that another dept of dwp says different.Theyre trying to pull wool over peoples eyes as it suits them ,Thanks0
