"The amounts on this page apply from 8 April 2016 to 14 April 2016".
A sum total of 6 days, if they have taken me off would this letter state that they had, or should I expect another letter setting out new dates
Confused anyone help
The ESA year is split into two with dates in April; due to the uprating of payments (rates are the same this year as last) and November for the payment of the Christmas Bonus.
ESA is an indefinite award, so the Decision Letters do not include any dates in regard to when the award will finish.
So I would expect you to receive another letter with dates from 15 April to a date in November.
If you want to know how long your award is for then you should be able to call the ESA hotline and ask for the prognosis, this is used to set the reassessment date.
