DWP requesting more information from me for ESA

DWP have today written to me with the application form I went over with them on the phone to make my claim on 10/11/17.

On the accompanying letter it says I need to phone them by 10/12/17 with more information concerning:
1) Other Benefits
2) Tax
Is this normal? I don’t really understand what they want to know.

In another part of the letter they are also asking for me to return to them in a free post envelope:
1) Medical certificates - I have sent these separately.
2) SSP1 form - I took this to JCP and handed it in so they already have this.
3) Bank statement less than 1 month old
It is the latter item that concerns me. I’ve never provided this information on previous claims. Is this normal?

I am really struggling with this process and find it quite invasive but I guess I have to go along with it.

Anything you can help with or let me know what to expect on the phone with them would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ka

The documents requested are pretty standard, it's because you have been working.

I'm not sure why there would be a second phone call?
