Esa underpayment was created by Lilillannant
Hi all- I realise I am one of the people owed money by the dwp - I migrated into esa contributions based from incapacity benefit in May 2014. I was on a low income facing homelessness . My health deteriorated and I claimed pip in july2015. Under advice from CAB I changed from contributions based esa to income related and received the premiums.
Under advice I cannot contacted the dwp , to say I have been underpaid, who have now sent me an esa3 form to fill in and asked me to backdate it. I am now stressed that this is a trick - will i be compensated or will I now be reassessed and put on universal credit this losing money ? Or is this just for new claims?
Many many thanks for all your that you do at benefits and work. You are a lifeline .

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems

The ESA3 is just to capture your financial status to see whether you qualify for the missing money, it cannot be used to re-assess your claim for ESA.
