Qcori

I have been on ESA for over ten years, initially on ESA in youth whilst at uni. I am in the income related support group.I have just received a letter giving me a telephone appointment with a work coach in relation to new style ESA and "claimant commitments". I am worried and Don't understand why this is happening etc....?

Hello @Qcori

Welcome to the community, good to see you join us.

Sorry to hear about this situation, it must be quite frustrating and confusing. Will you be calling tomorrow morning to try and find out what has happened?

If you are on income based ESA that makes no sense and you should query it. Just to confirm - you haven't claimed Universal Credit?

So I phoned today, basically because my PIP was renewed last year, it had alerted ESA, so became a new action on my file, so job centre saw it as a new application for ESA. So thankfully an error and if has been resolved...PHEW!!!

Thanks for updating. It is useful to hear these things because it may help when advising someone else in future.
