My PIP Telephone Assessment Today

Thank you Gary!
The DWP letter specifically referenced 'ESA Allowance of £5,121.'

My local Jobseekers Office could shed no light on this!

I am at a loss to understand how this figure has been calculated!

I have acted upon your advice and contacted my local Welfare Rights Office.

They now have all of thehnecessary paperwork in their possession and will be getting back to me next week!

Will keep you posted!

Hi Everyone,
Quick update!
I managed to locate an email address to contact DWP in London and duly sent an email to them last Friday relating to my ESA issues.
Imagine my surprise when DWP contacted me by telephone just now, with an extremely helpful lady answering all of my ESA queries.
Of importance was the fact that the sum of £5,121, is a complete mystery to them! It does not even reconcile with ESA Benefit rates!
They have not generated this annual ESA Allowance and my next step was to inform HMRC of an incorrect ESA Allowance, and providing them with the actual ESA Award of £3.48 a week!
Hopefully, this will result in no further monthly deductions from my Occupational Pension!
Thanks for all of your support and guidance!
