in Employment & Support Allowance (ESA)

Is it because we are now shifting over to universal credit, what does this sound like to you?

I tried to call up but i burnt up all my cash waiting, now I dont have any money for calls and other items like food

I tried to email but no luck either

    PIP shouldn't be affected by a UC migration. Losing PIP could 'halve' your ESA if it previously included SDP.

    So it sounds more like PIP has stopped separately from UC. Have you had PIP review forms recently?

    Hi @coladrpeppersprite.

    Do you have any money at all? Can you access local food banks?

    It’s free to ring any DWP department because they are 0800 numbers providing you rang the correct number.

    Did you have a review and your PIP was refused?
