FESL2 We are reviewing your benefit claim, letter was created by Morgan-Ayrs
Hi
I have just received a FESL2 "We are reviewing your benefit claim" letter from the local compliance team.
The only benefit I receive is Carers Allowance, with also working tax credits from HRMC.
I am in the process of taking DWP to a tribunal over PIP, since they turned me down moving from a DLA life time award over to a PIP claim.
My wife is on PIP, we both work part time, and my income is capped to ensure i do not go over the CA income level. my income is self employment, my wife, p/t PAYE
Online it appears it is income support and ESA claimants getting these letters, neither of which we claim. We last claimed IS over a decade ago, although a query does appear on the system every now and again about whether we claim it, despite numerous calls and letters reminding them we ceased claiming early 2005.
Does anyone know whether Carers Allowance or Tax credit claimants are being hauled in for this? I suspect it is the system glitch failing to spot i have not claimed IS for over a decade and causing the letter to be generated, but I am a little confused. The PIP tribunal appeal person also left a voicemail asking whether i still claim IS.... so probably linked.
I can see a list on a DWP website listing the benefits, but not Tax credits or CA (although they mention U Credit).
They are asking for a massive list of info - including savings etc that do not get calculated for CA, which again makes me think it is the phantom IS thing again.
I have a mental health condition with a severe anxiety component and therefore this is driving me a bit bonkers right now. The letter arrived on saturday (yesterday), ruining my wedding anniversary, and i can't call anyone until Monday morning!!
Any advise or info?

We've only seen this form used for ESA but it does not mean that it is only used for ESA.
Who is the form from, CA and IS is paid by the DWP, Tax Credits come from HMRC?

Hi Morgan-Ayrs,
I have had this done twice now for Tax Credits. First time, they wanted my children's birth certificates to prove the children that I claim for are mine and also because my husband was self-employed.
The second time they did this it was because of my husband's self-employment. I think this is normal if you receive tax credits and are self employed.
Kindest Regards,
Sophia.
