Hi @dillan5560 sorry to hear this. The best option would be to ring DWP monday morning. Let us know how you get onDisability Gamechanger - 2019

Thankyou so worried never had a problem, always get paid on a Saturday nothing today have to wait till Mon but I'm so worried why they've done it no warning

Have you checked with your bank to see if they are having any issues with their system?Disability Gamechanger - 2019

Yes checked with bank no issues and nothing pending ?
-
At your new address, are you living independently or with someone else?Disability Gamechanger - 2019

With my daughter and 2 children she's self employed and only gets child benefit and child tax could it be this
-
Did you notify DWP this when changing your address?

Yes I did but didn't realise about living with someone over 18

Living with your daughter won’t affect your ESA unless you were claiming the severe disability premium on top before you moved in with her. If you were claiming this then you will have an overpayment. This maybe the reason why your ESA has stopped. ESA income related support group is approximately £127.15 per week without the severe disability premium. To know for sure what’s happened you’ll need to ring DWP when they open.
Your PIP won’t be affected. -
Thankyou for your reply poppy123456, I only moved into my daughters 10 days ago so not sure of overpayment, just wish they had notified me but will find out Tom just hope they don't stop it all together I use a carers service as my daughter can't be there whilst working so been paying for Independant carers service to help me if I loose the sdp then I won't be able to afford as much care will let you know outcome thankyou

You will definitely lose the SDP £64 approximately per week. unless your daughter claims a qualifying benefit herself like DLA mid/high rate care or PIP daily living. Part of the criteria for this is you must live alone or be classed as living alone.
