IB to ESA

I have today received a reply form my MP saying my IB payments will continue untill a decision on my ESA has been made - result

However I note from the DWPs reply the following "The return date was not extended as requested ... because this is not within current legislative guidelines."

Does this mean they cannot extened the return date for any reasons?
If so there have been other posts on here about extentions for returning their ESA50 for whatever reason.

Hi MUK,

Have you tried the search engine at the top of the page?.

Well it looks like they accepted it late as it was received on 5th Aug as per letter from MP. I've not heard any more from the DWP...

Last time I spoke to the ESA team they said wait for a letter from them....

Whats likely to happen next? and long should it take them?

ok brown envelope no (sorry lost count)

this time my P45 as my IB has ennded...

The letter from the DWP to my MP which he forwarded to me states my IB will continue untill my ESA has been sorted .... but if they sent me a P45 then they cant continue paying me either IB or ESA?


I rang them up all they can tell me is my IB has ended and they awaiting a decision on my ESA .... they tell me I just got to wait for a decision latter.

My next paymemt is due next week

ESA contribution based is taxable like IB or not? if so why send me a P45 if they have not closed my claims?

or does one office not know what the other office is doing?

so does that mean I will still get some money next week?

will it be paid as ESA?
