in Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
Hi all, hope you are well.
I am in receipt of Contribution Based ESA in the Support Group. I was told over the phone when I was awarded this that it was until November this year. I haven't heard anything else from DWP about this and wondered if anyone knew whether the payments just stop in November, or do the DWP contact me, or do I need to contact DWP to ask what happens?

Thanks in advance for your help as always.

    HI,

    Contirbutions based ESA Support Group payments aren't time limited. Support Group is an ongoing award until a decision is made on your next review. There's huge backlogs so this is likely why you haven't been contacted for a review.

    Hi @poppy123456

    Thanks for your quick reply. Good to know that my payments won't just stop and it's just a case of waiting until I hear from DWP.

    Take care all
