ESA Telephone Review?

Hi, thanks to everyone who replied and helped put my mind at ease.

The woman I spoke to was kind and told me it was just a random check. There were a few gotcha questions thrown in there – especially with regards to co-habitation, but the whole process was pretty easy.

However, I have now received a letter generated on the date of the call saying:

'A CHANGE IN THE EMPLOYMENT AND SUPPORT ALLOWANCE RATE PAYABLE

We looked at your claim again following a recent change.

From 25 April 2014 your employment and Support Allowance will be £123.70 a week.

This is because of:

a change in money coming in.

a change in savings.'

The ESA rates haven't changed at all. I'm still in support group, but I'm bemused by the fact it says I've had a change of money coming in and savings, as I stated there were no changes in my finances during the call.

Does this stated change in finances thing count as a change of circumstances?

I was an existing claimant before the deferment deadline, so thought I was safe from the dreaded ESA50 for a while.

Can someone be kind enough to confirm whether this is something to worry about or not?

Many thanks.
