Hi all, I’m just wondering if any of you are still waiting to get your annual uprating letter? I usually get mine end of feb/first week of March and nothing yet. For neither ESA or PIP ? Things like this send my anxiety SKY HIGH my friend got hers like usual but is there anyone like me, still waiting!?

I very often either get mine after the increase or not at all, it's really nothing to worry about.2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡
-
@woodbine thank you, still not had it. Although I’ve had my PIP one, don’t know why these things stress me out so much!?
-
I haven't had any letters either as yet as above I dont always get them so I dont really worry about it
-
@janer1967 thank you for your reply puts my mind at ease knowing I’m not the only one.

Senior management got her PIP updating letter today, all of 30p a week2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡

I have had mine and not worth waiting for, less than £1.00 rise for both benefits. Probably cost more to do the letter. Its a disgrace really.
-
They should save the money what a waste producing all those letters and postage
Surely the money could be put to something more worthwhile -
It would be better if you could just opt in to something like text updates for stuff like this..
-
You beat me to it @MarkN88 - I was just about to write the same thing!
-
@chiarieds great minds think a like

I think they legally have to inform you in writing although with increases having been so small in recent years it makes little sense, but I remember 20 years ago when all benefits would increase by 5 or 6% a year, ah those were the day.2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡

I’ve had my PIP one last week, which took 9 days from date of printing to come, just waiting on ESA. I’m sure it’ll come in the next few days!

Mine go straight through the shredder..

Haven't had mine yet. As others have said, it seems a huge waste of money and paper. Can't even be easily recycled due to the personal info. I'd gladly opt in for paperless updates via email if that was an option.
I find emails much easier to organise (all in date order and I can see which ones I've read, whereas post can get jumbled). Plus they can be searched within seconds and a second copy printed when needed to save wading through all the near-identical PIP/ESA letters looking for the most recent one! -
@OverlyAnxious I love the name, sums me up to a T too xx
-
@MarkN88 lol ? ??
-
Still nothing but I agree, an email would be far better! Easier to organise, keep safe and it would definitely save some money, with postage etc!
