ESA stopped without any notice

Hi, i have recently had a pip form and telephone assessment which i passed and was awarded the same rate as i was previously on, i also claim ESA, i have checked my bank account and i havent recieved my ESA payment. i am extremely anxious about this. Could my PIP outcome effect my ESA? how can the DWP do this to people, especially with the current situation we are all in.

Sure, they can cause inconvenience, but I imagine for every person who is upset with them, there's another who is totally satisfied with their DWP interactions.
That doesn't mean to say that any inconvenience or mistake is acceptable, it happens far more than it should, but I don't think we should be calling them evil on that basis.

Personally I have always been treated with respect and fairly, but then I have always treated them properly which i'm sure helps. If you have an attitude with people then you will get treated in the same way, i'm sure you know what I mean?
my stress was high as I thought I’ve not been awarded and they’ve stopped my money was quite the opposite
