Hi and welcome to the community
We hear of lots members this happens to usually just a blip in the system
All you can do is call them as soon as they are open -
Hello
thank you for taking time to reply, I am very worried as to why, fingers crossed it is merely a blip. I’ve never had an issue before, I struggle immensely with anxiety having to call but I’ll attempt to be brave shortly and ring whoever to find out
thanks again -
If your PIP includes a Daily Living and your ESA is income based, you live alone and no one claims Carer’s Allowance, or the carer element of UC, for looking after you then you can ask ESA about the Severe Disability Premium which will in crease your ESA entitlement.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.

Oh ok I haven’t heard of that before, I’m in support group for esa and enhanced daily living for pip, I don’t have any other support apart from my daughter who lives with me who’s at uni but living at home, so unsure if that makes any difference.Thank you tho I’ll look into it
