Hi Everyone,

My ESA has been stopped without notice, my last payment was the 7th January, when I rang them they said I had applied for universal credit and therefore my case had been closed. I explained that I hadn’t and they said it had to go to the fraud squad and that universal credit had to deal with it, and they would contact me within 7 working days, well they have now had 7 working days and I’ve heard nothing. I explained that I now had no money and she basically said there was nothing she could do.
im not sure what to do now, I was in the support group. Is there anything you can suggest or help with please.
Thanks
Bev

    May be worth contacting your MP’s office to see if they can speed up a resolution.

    Hello @Beveybarani I'm really sorry to hear what's happened. The only other thing I can suggest which might help is having a search of AdviceLocal.

    If there's anything else you need support with let us know, and we'll help as best we can.
