Under payment contact

I believe I was underpaid when I was moved from incapacity benefit to ESA income related but have since moved house and have a new telephone number. Do I need to let them know or will they be able to find me as no longer claiming any benefits?

I'd contact DWP Monday morning, they open at 8am.

If you change your address, telephone number, inform all the people you fo business with, DWP, banks, building societies, doctors, dentist hospitals if under treatment credit card companies mobile phone provider. The list goes on but you, we know who we should contact to avoid problems later.

As nicolal no longer claims benefits this was most likely the reason they didn't tell DWP the change of address. No need to tell them if you're no longer claiming a benefit.

Thanks both! DWP are the only people I didn’t tell as I no longer claim any kind of benefits. I was lucky that I became well enough to work again and both of my kids became of age and work too! I will contact DWP tomorrow first thing. Is it just a general enquiry number I call? Thanks in advance!

ESA helpline number 0800 169 0310.Living with a partner that worked, savings/capital other household income are all things they look at when claiming an Income related top up. Other non dependents that lived with you at the time aren't counted.

It was just me and 2 kids Poppy when I was claiming with no other income apart from my benefits. I had no savings or capital. Thanks for the number I will ring them tomorrow. Have a good day!
