in Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
Did anyone else get a payout today?
It is the exact amount the keep publishing in the newspapers?

There is still no ruling on the court case, but today we received the money?

Am I dreaming?

😲🙈

    What benefits do you claim? How much was it for?

    Hmmm. As far as I know there’s no decision been made on court case. Maybe call and ask what it’s for?

    Hi @marija, 

    That's good that you were proactive and contacted the DWP with regards to your unexpected payment. You mention that you're at a loss with this all now, is there any further questions that you'd like to ask to help with this? :)
    For the moment i am fine, at least i think so. 🤭
    This was just to big of a coincidence that it was the amount they kept saying ppl on legacy benefits will get.

    But i also didnt want to get overpaid and then having to pay it back. 

    Rather give them a call and find out. 

    Now the letter will come in 10 days, like the last time when they paid backdated.

    I was so hoping for everyone on legacy benefits that the payment was that!

    Hopefully soon 🤞🤞🤞🙏🙏🙏
