I'm not sure that the DLA ones have been sent out yet, none of my friends have received their ones yet, the ESA one may be because you are being re-assessed. You haven't missed anything as I don't think there have been any increases this year.

I would normally have received letters by now telling me how much ESA and DLA I would be receiving for next year, but have received nothing.
Would this be because I was due for reassessment having been in the SG for three years? Have other people received these letters?
Many thanks.

Thanks, Gordon.
No increase doesn't worry me much, but the prospect of no ESA full stop terrifies me. My panicky mind is thinking all kinds of things right now, including ' no uprating letter means they've already decided not to renew my benefits', etc.

You shouldn't assume that at all, no uprating letters means nothing more than no uprating letter! They cannot pre-empt a Decision on your claim in this way. A decision to re-assess you may have stopped the letter being sent but that is as far as it goes.

Thanks again, and apologies- it's panic station thinking.

My DLA uprating letter arrived over the weekend.
I am going thru the DLA to PIP, have completed all forms, have had an assessment, have had a letter saying they have received all info and are the process of making a decision.

There was one more thing that's occurred to me-sorry about this. Am I right in thinking that you receive your benefits at the same level until a decision is made? Then any changes are made depending on the outcome? Thanks.
Well done pusscatsmum, on getting through the forms (I'm yet to put pen to paper following sleepless night). Good luck with the outcome.
