I'm worried now as my money hasn't gone in 6th July. I have to pay for my mobility scooter out my ESA. Bank has paid it for me. I now owe bank 85.00. I'm in dept with my energy user. Utilita. I owe my friend money. I don't know why it's been stopped.

    Not getting it doesn’t mean it’s been stopped. Sometimes there are computer glitches. Just ring ESA and if necessary they will do a manual payment.

    Yes. Thank you. I explained to. That I have to pay 148.00 four weekly 73.00 for my mobility scooter out my own money. My. Esa. PIP. Dropped me from high to standard. Which meant after over 10yrs of using scooter I no longer had one. I tried to manage but I ended up with feet hurting and swelling also bruising. So I took it on myself to rent a mobility scooter. Someone helped me fill in assessment form but I didn't check to see if she put it on the form telling them. As I contacted pip. Change of circumstances. Then found them. Watching me. At that time I was still saving for Deposit.

    I can’t imagine DWP would watch someone randomly like this. They wouldn’t have the time or staff to do that. What makes you think someone was watching you?
    Regarding your ESA payment, did you ring them to ask why you weren’t paid? 
    When you reported a change of circumstances was this recently? Has a decision been made on that yet?

    Do you mean your neighbour was watching you @Jetti or the DWP? It must feel very unsettling for you, have you spoken to your GP, or someone close to you about it?

    Do you feel like you're getting enough support for your mental health at the moment?
