My friend is entitled to Disability Living Allowance (DLA) and Employment and Support Allowance (ESA). It’s usually paid at the end of the month. End of September came and went and nothing came in. Phoned up a few days later and told Tuesday 11th October. Same thing happened again, nothing received. Phoned up the next day and told it’s been stopped. I’m guessing that someone else, so a bad friend or someone who don’t like my friend phoned up and said something probably like smoking drugs. This happened before. Got checked out and Benefits re-established after a few weeks. My friend is clean, doing what needs to be done to keep benefits.
It was very bad the DLA telling you will get paid then telling my friend it’s been stopped. Why did this happen? It’s very bad of them. I’m guessing they don’t do back payments as friend is really struggling. It’s there any help that my friend can get in the meantime.
Friend is waiting for a letter for an appointment to get benefits re-established, however long that is going to take.
Is there anyway of stopping getting your benefits stopped. I’m guessing not. No letter or phone call regarding it’ll be stopped. So my friend is not in a good place and mental health isn’t the best either.
Hopefully there is help out there. I’ll be thankful for any ideas, help to get some money and get benefits re-established again.
