I put an application for Esa based SSP on the 26th April and I still have not got any letters or calls from the jobcenter. I have rang the DWP numerous times and had 3 escalations put on the claim which is all there and sorted, the DWP have told me I need a claimant commitment meeting with my local jobcentre but everything time they tell me they will message the JC to ring me back within 24 hours it never happens . Anyone have any idea why its taking more than 6 weeks ?

SSP is paid by your employer.
ESA is a contributions based benefit you may be entitled if you are not currently entitled to SSP.
I infer from your post that you have applied for ESA. There is no way for us to know why your claim has not been processed promptly as it should be.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK. -
I have read up that if you are in receipt of ssp for longer than 28 weeks you must then pay for esa to cover sick pay via an ssp1 form. I just wondered if anyone has had a similar problem with such a delay with no correspondence.

Note that if you are in a household with low income you may be entitled to Universal Credit while claiming SSP.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.
