DWP Unfair decision - sudden closure of ESA - change of address

If what the JC+ call agent told me was true that my ESA was closed on 27 January, they really have made the situation impossible for me either to appeal against the closure or to re-claim within 12 weeks.

I received the letter on 26/03/16 (the letter was issued on 21/03/16.) They claimed that they could not contact me. It's not true. I set up a royal mail redirection service, which cover the re-delivery of all my mail from the day I moved out for a year.

I feel so sick and angry. Why are they doing this to me? :(

Yes, Gordon, I sent a fat envelop to my local MP a few days ago. I guest I will have to wait for at least a few weeks before I get any response ....

Now I just want to cry and cry ....

Are you single, Gordon? Can I marry you? :silly: .... (sorry for the bad joke ... just trying to have a laugh while waiting for the tears to dry up ... And, actually, the joke probably best represent how much i appreciate you right now ... You have given me kindness, guidance and help all the way since I was stuck in this messy situation. ... I love you Gordon! (please don't call the police. I won't stalk you :laugh: )

By the way, Gordon, I understand that you have done all you can to help me. And there is probably not much more advice you can give me at this stage. Just to let you know that I will understand if you have nothing further to say about my case, but I will keep you updated.

I love you! xxxxx ( :lol: )

You certainly can't link the claims but there is nothing stopping you requesting an MR and appeal if necessary, although we recommend that the request is made within one month you actually have 13 months to do so, but will now have to explain why the request was late, failing to be notified and receiving the wrong information on the status of your claim should be sufficient reason.

You can also still make a backdated claim to early March!
