in Employment & Support Allowance (ESA)

Google had mixed answers.

One said "with in a month of the change" one said "when the change happens"

I've got my enrollment on the 10th of September so I'm assuming that's when the change happens? I did plan on sending a notification letter explaining it wasn't a change in health just filling my legal duty and sending them a copy of my extensive DSA support entitlement letter (in hopes they'll just leave me alone) in the first week of September.

Is that about the right time? I don't want to give the DWP an excuse to contact me or my welfare rights team unless absolutely necessary.

Thanks all x

    Ideally it should've been last Tuesday, 30 days notice.

    I don't know for sure but I'd say most these things should be when a change happens, that's what UC is and they have similar rules.
