Hi s,
Yes !!

I really don't see the point in members commenting that they have or have not received an uprating letter.
The system is such that your next door neighbour could receive one if entitled, before or after you did.
So the fact that other members may or may not have received theirs yet really has no bearing on your own personal circumstances !

DLA and ESA annual uprating letters are being sent out and received by members, but they are late compared to previous years.

I know bro58 said there's no real point in asking others if they've had theirs as they arrive at different points and are late this year, but now the deadline is so near I'm wondering if I'm now the only one here who still hasn't had one?
Dreading the thought of calling them?
Is it still possible that I (and others here...if there are some still waiting as I am) will still receive one (beyond today)?
I am wondering if those who are not getting an increase (eg like me on IR ESA) won't get an annual uprating letter this year?
Sorry to ask this again but I really expected to have got one by now. I normally have it by mid Feb!
Thanks!

Hi S,
I will merge your previous ESA related topics with this one.
No one in receipt of DLA/PIP/AA/ ESA is getting an increase this year :
See : This Post , so that is irrelevant.
At least 10 people that I know personally have still not received their annual ESA "uprating" entitlement letters, and out of 8 of the 10 who are also in receipt of DLA, only 2 of those received the DLA entitlement letters last Friday.
These letters are late going out this year !
If you need the ESA entitlement letter, you will have to contact ESA to request it : THE ESA PHONE NUMBER DWP : 0345 608 8545 (Open 8AM-6PM. Mon-Fri.)
