We are reviewing your benefit claim

Thank you for replying. Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you but I didn't realise I had to click on profile to access my thread. In fact I reposted it as I thought it hadn't gone through. Think I might have annoyed the moderator. I'm not very good at this! Anyway, to get back to letter, which we have never had before even though my husband has been receiving incapacity benefit (and now ESA support group) and DLA for years, it asks us to bring to the meeting,Itbank statements of current and savings accounts and any ISA'S etc. that we might have. Why? My husband doesn't receive any means tested benefits. I've tried to phone the number on letter 4 times today. It just goes onto an answering machine and you're told to leave a message. I haven't. I have a thing about answering machines and even phones in general! It also says if my husband doesn't attend meeting his benefits will be stopped. This whole thing is is not good for him healthwise. We are very worried as neither of us trust DWP.

Have a look at the following

Interviews at JC+ when in Support Group

As already advised it may be possible to have his switched to a meeting in your home, you need to emphasise his limitations, however, this will depend on your phoning them about the appointment, I'm afraid there is no email facility and a letter may not reach the right person in time to have any effect.

The DWP can suspend payment if the claimant does not provide information as requested.
