Need advice if possible was created by Marie
Hello,

I wonder if anyone can advise me please, I have previously wrote in the forum with regards to receiving my migration to UC, from ESA (WRAG) notice, deadline date for the 1st July, previously to this I had submitted a permitted work form, I have since received a decision from the DWP informing me that I am no longer entitled to ESA and that I have to pay back over £4000!!! And I have went beyond my permitted work which isn’t true, i am so confused and so stressed, it’s not doing my mental health any good!! If anyone can assist me I would be very grateful. Thank you in advance.

Hi Marie,

Sorry to hear about your situation. I unfortunately don't have any knowledge in relation to what's happened here, however, I have approved your post for others to see, and hopefully someone will be able to advise you or make a suggestion on the best way forward.

Hi Marie,

You're bound to be - the pressures that this government causes on disabled people is disgusting - and not even just disabled, but those trying to manage on UC - it's virtually impossible. I don't even think Martin Lewis could advise how we live on UC! :P

Hi Marie,

I think it may be a good idea to contact Citizens Advice Help to claim and see if they can help you get the ESA issue explained before you migrate. I gather the telephone number should be on your migration notice. Other forum members have used the service and found them very helpful. I plan to use them when I receive the dreaded migration notice too.

Hi Marie

You previously told me you were working 4 or 5 hours per week. The earnings limit for Permitted Work from 7 April 2025 is £195.50 per week. This is the net amount after pension, income tax and NI. Have you kept records of your pay?
