Cost of living help - distinct lack of!

Hi Gary

Sorry I thought I’d replied to your post.

I have had a look and was trying to add a picture of my letter (minus any private details) but I couldn’t add one.

Anyway, there aren’t any codes on the last page of my ESA entitlement letter, so I’m non the wiser.

I believe there are further cost of living hand outs now announced by Rishi Sunak but again, I (and probably lots more people like me) wont get a penny extra.

Still the only payment I/we have had was the £150 Council Tax rebate.

It should apply to all ESA/PIP claimants - it really is sickening when you don’t benefit from a system you paid into but others that haven’t do and nobody is picking up on this point.

Please don't assume that all people on income related benefits haven't paid into the system. I was changed over to CB ESA from IB, but because I was put into the WRAG I was changed over to IR ESA after a year.

If you're receiving any Income Related ESA your award letter should mention an "income-related amount" on the page they give a breakdown of your benefit.

I'm not sure why you've not received a Disability Cost Of Living Payment if you were on PIP during the qualifying period. You can report the missing payment here .
