Do I still need to fill the ESA form out?

I have just signed up to this site, and already found it very helpful.
The question I have is I have also received ESA(IBR) form, my circumstances have not changed for the time period stated on the form, however my husband changed his job November, do I still need to fill the form out?
When I rang the number on the letter they said that it was to see if I was on the right benefit, as they could be some money owing and that I should fill it in anyway. I am on IB esa and you get more benefits, such as free dental on CB esa , i forgot to ask them the above question😕

Welcome it’s my meet you this evening 😇😇
Is the form that you have a “ESA3”
Have you sent the form back so far???
Please let me know if you need any help/info??

As you point out, free prescriptions etc come along with irESA, but not with cbESA alone. So your partner's hours of work and earnings are really important to your entitlement.

I made that mistake and almost got fined £100.
They did except my explanation though after I sent them an email.
They said it's a common mistake people make.
