Hi guys My hubby is on esa support group, ib and cb. He gets his money fortnightly but a payment has gone in a week early. It reads DWPGB-FP funding on the bank statement. As it's a ridiculously long wait on the phone I thought I'd ask here first. We have had some recent changes in that I'm no longer working, as of 31 march and have just been awarded carers allowance. Thank you
So if you have stopped working then any deductions from your husbands ESA(IB) would stop. The CA however will be treated as a new deduction and there will be the addition of a Carers Premium to his ESA.
I can't say whether any of these changes would result in an additional payment being required.
