Hi, I posted regarding this yesterday but it hasn't appeared for some reason, maybe it was too long or something ...anyway ..

I sent off my latest ESA50 three weeks ago and received a four page letter from Jobcentreplus a couple of days ago, but I don't know what it means!

It's going on about a change in the ESA rate payable and then tells me I qualify for a Christmas Bonus which will be paid in December ....?? I'm baffled!

The only thing different I did with the latest ESA50 was that I enclosed a copy of my tribunal notice from last August saying I had won my appeal to get my Support Group reinstated, as well as asking them not to call me for an ATOS medical due to the nature of my condition, Secondary Progressive MS.

It also says at the bottom of the table of payments "The amounts on this page apply from 11 April 2012 to 27 November 2012".

Do you think this letter means I've been granted my award for another year without a medical, or is it just some strange, random letter?

As your letter references payments from April to November then it is in all liklihood a standard letter informing you of rate changes that came onto effect in April 2012, however, you can always contact your local DWP office for an explanation.

Thanks Gordon, yes I was thinking I'd give it a week to see if I get anything else, then I'll summon the necessary energy to ring them.
