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.

PIP and ESA are two different benefits, are you in the support group for ESA? the only thing you can do is phone them today and see what the problem is.2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡

thank you Woodbine and Mikehughescq for your replies, i rang them 8am today and was put through to a nice lady who explained to me it was a mistake on there end and a payment was made a few hours later on. I still think its very irresponsible for these type of things to happen considering the impact it has on peoples health. thank you again for your replies, panic over. until next time that is..

Meh, the DWP is run by evil suited jobsworths who have no clue what they're doing more than half the time IMO.

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.Online Community CoordinatorConcerned about another member's safety or wellbeing? Flag your concerns with us.

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?2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡 -
Many people working at DWP may also be benefits claimants themselves.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.

That happened to me my esa was due and had my phone assessment five days before (pip) when I phoned they had told me I had been awarded pip all came though that very day.
my stress was high as I thought I’ve not been awarded and they’ve stopped my money was quite the opposite -
As much stress as it is dealing with the DWP and some of the unfortunate people that work there, without there support over the last few years i dont know where id be, but the anxiety that is caused directly by them is like a trap, i have mixed feelings on the DWP. If a doctors note was all tht was needed things would be alot better, they seem to want multiple forms of evidence now which makes the hole thing extremely hard to deal with
-
I know I hear you on that definitely,yes you would think medical evidence would suffice instead you need to prove numerous times that you are entitled,it’s a sad state of affairs
-
It’s a shame they just stop people’s Monday with out letting them know I don’t recieve esa . Does pip ever do that stop peoples money with out telling them ?

Do you know why your ESA stopped? If you don’t then you will need to ring them when they open on Tuesday morning.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
Hi Poppy, I may be due for a assessment but they haven't sent me The pink and white Questionnaire form yet!

Support Group is an ongoing award until a new decision says otherwise. There must be a reason why your ESA has stopped so you need to ring them Tuesday morning when they open.

DODO said:Thank you for your help poppy, Can you tell me the phone number please I cant find any letters with it on at the moment!It will depend which ESA you're claiming because there's 2 different numbers. If you're claiming New style ESA the number is... 0800 328 5644If you're claiming the old Income Related/Contributions based ESA the number is. 0800 169 0310
