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.

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..1

It really is a shame, it happens over and over again in my experience. This site has provided me abit of relief in a very stressful situation and for that i am grateful1

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.1 -
Many people working at DWP may also be benefits claimants themselves.1

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 opposite1 -
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 with1

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 affairs0

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 ?0

Do you know why your ESA stopped? If you don’t then you will need to ring them when they open on Tuesday morning.0 -
Hi Poppy, I may be due for a assessment but they haven't sent me The pink and white Questionnaire form yet!0

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.

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
