Disability premium worry

in Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
Hi.I receive ESA including Severe disability premium.I also receive PIP. Last week I suddenly stopped getting the Disability premium for no reason.I phoned them and there's no notes on my account so they don't know why it's stopped. My PIP has just been renewed for another 10 years. I haven't received any letters from them and no one seems to know why.MY PIP was renewed in March when it was originally to be renewed in November.We are wondering if that has caused them to remove it in error.Does anyone have any ideas? as it's keeping me awake and night and I'm so worried about it :( Thanks Mandy

    I can only guess why it stopped. When you rang them did they restart payments?

    You will need to ring them again because I can’t tell you why it stopped. Do you still live alone? No one claims carers allowance or carers element of Universal credit for looking after you?

    This sounds really frustrating @Mickley1. I can hear how this would be a worry for you. 

    Would anything, in particular, make things more manageable for you at the moment? Apart from change, of course! 

    Please don't hesitate to let us know if there's anything we can do to support you. We are all here for you and listening to you  :)
