IR ESA Still no annual uprating letter!

Would you know if there is a date beyond which it is unlikely to arrive if it's going to come and is just delayed? Like a cut-off point after which I should call them? Thanks a lot.

Hi S,

I am not aware of any cut off point, but the new "benefit year" starts from the first Monday in April so even though there is : No uprating of ESA, etc, this year they should really be sent to arrive before then.

Thanks bro58, still no sign so may have to call them soon. Will they want to know why I want one? My anxiety/ brain fog can make 'conversation' hard so I want to avoid entering into discussion.

Can I ask others here: have you not had yours yet, and if not, would you normally have had one by now?

bro58 has kindly told me there are delays for reasons unknown but I'm starting to worry it's maybe lost in the post...and my personal details are out there somewhere!

Thanks all.

Hi shell

I to have not yet had my letters, last year my ESA letter was dated 5/2/15 and dla was 13/3/15

Keep waiting for the post everyday before I can do anything.

I to will have to ring dwp and ask for a letter to confirm I am getting income related ESA as I will need this to claim my travel expenses on my hospital appointments and my hospital office will only accept dwp letters that are dated within 6 months of my appointment date to claim expenses.

Let's hope we all get the letters soon.
