Will moving home have any effect on my claim for ESA and PIP ?, I am in the support group for ESA and recieve the high rate of PIP for past five years or so due to spinal injury, chronic disabling back-pain, and depression.
As a home-owner and unlike renters, I have gone through the normal home-owner process of selling my previous home to purchase my new home and I'm terrified that moving will result in me being transferred onto Universal Credit, trigger a reassessment of my ESA / PIP which might result in losing money or my benefits being stopped and told to re-apply from scratch, not sure l could cope with any more degrading Atos type medical assessments.
I moved last week and have notified DWP and council tax, just waiting to see what happens.
Has anyone else had problems with this? how might this effect me, should I even be worried about it ? any advice greatly appreciated.
Joe.
