Change of name for ESA and DLA was created by DWPEX
I don't want to go through the tortuous process of phoning the DWP but I need to know how I change my name with them. I will be changing my name legally and just need to inform the DWP accordingly.
Can I write to someone for BOTH ESA and DLA?
Will this act increase the likelihood of being called for assessment?

Hi and Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explain where everything is

Welcome to Benefits and Work

Yes, you should write and inform ESA and DLA departments separately, the address will be on the last letter you had from them. You should also notify any other benefits you might receive (such as housing benefit). This should not count as a 'change of circumstances' and, therefore, should not trigger reassessment.
