hi, I am in a terrible state. I have add amongst other problems so have trouble keeping track of my money, I just got back from my dads and opened my statement dated 12th April and found out my last esa payment was 28th feb and I am horribly overdrawn. Ironically (as I am awaiting a pip decision) I received my dla for april. Ive been trying to contact them all day, usually I get a friend to do it as I get too stressed but I am desperate. Currently I have been on hold for an hour. I don't know what to do, I cant order any food online or top up my travel card or pay for my storage unit and now my possessions are at risk. (and not that it;s relevant but I've just had a 2nd bereavement in less than a year) I feel so alone and I can't cope with this stress.

You posted about a year ago about the possibility of a friend living with you, did this happen? If it did and happened recently then it is possible that your ESA has been suspended while the DWP decide about your living arrangements.

If they did not move in then anything I could come up with would be a guess, you need to speak to the DWP! Try ringing at 8am when the lines open.

hi Gordon, no it didn't. They answered the phone after 80 minutes and it was a bad line and they were going to hang up!!! Luckily he called back. It was a 'system error' and he promised the money would be paid by midnight and that I could write in and try to get my overdraft fees back.. Next day I checked my bank account and I only had £21 credit. Turns out they only paid me 2 weeks money rather than the 6 I am owed!!! Plus there was a text message to say the money was paid and my next payment would be the one that is due anyway on the 29th. So I am now listening to Vivaldi yet again and stressed out completely. I can't believe they are so inhumane.
