PIP STOPPED, AFFECT IR ESA SUPPORT GROUP CLAIM?

I notified PIP of deterioration of health. Had an Atos home visit - their idea not mine. Got decision today, removed PIP! Obvs I am asking for MR etc. but in the meantime..

I am in ESA SG and my partner was my carer. We also have 2 children receiving DLA/PIP. I am carer for the 18yr old on PIP. My partner has now applied for CA for our youngest.

I used my PIP medical in my original ESA application and was put in contribution based SG. My partner was made redundant, claimed CA for me and was added to my ESA claim which made us IR ESA in SG.

Now i'm worried we will lose ESA aswell, or, I will be put in WRAG in which case it's the same as losing it because I cannot work. Anyone had any experience? Or, any advice??

I'm sorry that you are going through this, especially as your health is so much worse

DWP cannot simply reduce, or remove, your ESA award, thery would have to go through the reassessment process. We have not seen a PIP refusal trigger an early ESA reassessment so please try not to worry about this.

Further, being placed in the WRAG does not mean that the claimant has to work, or seek work - although the name of the group does suggest that!

Our PIP guide explains the MR process, so please make full use of it

Hi, does that mean you have accepted my challenge and will get back to me?

I'm sorry, what 'challenge' is that?

Just responding to my questions...my humour.

I'm trying not to be miserable

Sorry, it can be difficult when we don't know you yet!
