Change of Circumstances

Sorry if this has already been asked, I did a search but couldn't find.

I am currently getting ESA in my name but for myself and my partner and I have been put in the support group. I also get PIP standard rate care and enhanced rate mobility.

Myself and my partner have recently decided to separate and I will be moving out to live closer to my family because I need some support.

My question is, I realise that I need to contact DWP but how will this affect my benefits when I tell them I want to remove my partner from my claim? Apart from my address and relationship status my condition will be the same. Will I still have to fill in more forms and will I also have to attend another assessment?

I hope someone can help me with this as it is causing me a lot of anxiety and sleepless nights.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Gordon

Thank you for your reply and for the links.

I've had a brief look at the ESA3 and all the questions seem to relate to making a new claim.
It does seem like a rather long form just to tell them I've separated and changed my address! But if that's what I have to do.

Thanks again.

Yes I understand.

Thanks again.
