Confused about ESA result/or not ? was created by wazamataz
Hi , Im wondering if anyone could shed some light ? With the help of this good website , I filled in my ESA50 form which had to be sent in by 19th May , 2016. From then on, Ive heard nothing , until this morning ! This morning (19th January 2017 , 8 months later) , I have received a letter from the DWP which is headed ...YOUR CLAIM FOR EMPLOYMENT AND SUPPORT ALLOWANCE....CHANGES IN SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS. It states that from 10th April 2017 , the rates of some social security benefits may change. On the back page (page 3) it works out how much money Im entitled to being in the WRAG group , and it will apply from 11th April 2017. So , my question is , is this the DWPs way of saying that I have been awarded ESA in the WRAG without having to go through the misery of a medical ? This has never happened before as Ive always had to attend their medicals. If it is the case that I do not have to attend a medical , they havent sent me anything to say how many points I scored , or where/how I scored them. What should I do next ? Anything or nothing ? If I have been awarded ESA WRAG , I dont even know how long it is awarded for ? My last award was for 2 years but I did have to appeal to get it back in October 2013. Any advice would be appreciated, many thanks. Kind regards , Wendy.

Welcome to the forum.

In case you are not aware, your real name appears to be showing in the forum, if you want to change this then follow the instructions in the following FAQ

My full name is showing, how can I stop it?


Based on what you have posted I think it likely that this is the annual uprating letter from the DWP, I believe that they have started sending these out, but the only way you will know for certain is for you to contact the DWP and ask whether a Decision has been made on your last reassessment.

Hi Gordon , thank you for informing me that my name was showing , and that I have now corrected it. I hate having to contact the DWP , its like disturbing a hornets nest ! I will give them a ring and I will let you know the outcome , and for the benefit of anyone else who maybe in the same predicament. Thank you for replying to my query. Kind regards , Wendy.

An alternative is for you to contact Maximus they can tell you if your reassessment is still pending and then you can decide whether to ring the DWP.
