ESA payment reference changed to JSA

Hello,

I originally applied for ESA in March 2013 and was put into Support Group without a face to face. Since then I have kept getting ESA even through the 3 year maximum reassessment period has passed.

Today I have noticed in my bank account the same amount payment I get for ESA but the reference is JSA instead of EESA?

Can someone shed some light on this please?

The ESA payment system is piggy backed onto the JSA one, so any manual or ad hoc payment will show as JSA rather than the normal ESA one, it might be connected to your PIP award.
