Incapacity Benefit was created by Elaine2
I have not received any incapacity benefit since Jan 2011. I telephoned them 6 times in Feb and asked them about my benefit. I was asked in for a "chat", I then received a letter on the Friday before my "chat" on the monday stating it would be an interview under caution. I went to the interview without anyone as I was not given any time to find someone. I have not received any letters from the DWP regarding them suspending benefit the only letter i have received is the one stating an interview. I asked the man about the benefit, he told me it was up to a Decision Maker this was all at the end of February. The interviewer stated off record that I should not bother to apply for any emergency monies as I had quite enough to live on with my pensions which incidentally they do know about. Would anyone know why they have not sent me any letters? should I be ringing them? it all seems rather threatening.

If you have been interviewed under caution, it would suggest that the DWP are seriously concerned over some aspect of your claim.

If you have had no contact for several weeks, I would contact them to find out what is going on.
