Hello,

Thanks for reading this.

It may be that this question has been definitively answered in the Benefits & Work guide on the subject, or on the Forum, and I have missed it. Please forgive me if that is the case.

My question: when is your claim for ESA automatically closed?

Is it;

When you register your online account?
or
When you begin the online claim form,
or
When you successfully submit the online claim form (along with relevant evidence submitted online or taken to Jobcentre.)

Will I receive formal notification that one claim has closed, and another been opened?

Thanks,
Droopy

Hi Droopy

We can not give you a definitive answer, what should happen is a stop notice is issued when your ID has been confirmed, but this does not always happen and errors do happen and claimants are overpaid which is then recoverable.
