    HI and welcome,

    I have no idea what the A164 letter is, despite my benefit knowledge. My only advice will be to ring them and ask why you've been sent it.

    This sounds like it could be to do with the Incapacity benefit to ESA underpayments. Those that were transferred from IB weren't assessed for any income related top up and lots of people were underpaid. If the form asked you lots of questions about house income/savings/capital and pensions then this is most likely what it was for.

    Then it won't be to do with the IB to ESA underpayments because that's a long form.

    This is a form asking for more information about other money, that you may have each month. Are you claiming any work pensions or anything like that?
