Hi @Bushby
Good Afternoon & Welcome ???
As far as I can make out this is down to a “Computer Glitch”
So people are getting their esa payments split in two “separate payments”
“Half this week & Half next week”
You need to get hold of someone at “DWP” If this will be a “Problem”
We have got a “Helpline”
0808 800 3333
If you have any further problems!!!!!
I would also be very happy in helping you???
With either help/support/info if required!!!! -
