Shocking. Received letter from DWP stating from 27th October 2020 my ESA
will be reduced by £24.50 a week which equals "Disability Income Guaranttee" income.
Is this correct ???

The Disability Income Guarantee aka the Enhanced Disability Premium is payable as long as you meet the entitlement criteria so something in your benefits has changed.

Either

- you are no longer entitled to DLA Higher Rate Care or PIP Enhanced Daily Living
- you are no longer in the legacy ESA Support Group
- you are no longer eligible for Income Related ESA due to your household income, savings and assets or the hours that a partner works.

Thanks. There have been no change in circumstances reported by me nor has
ESA(DWP) advised me of any changes.
The letter is standard letter notifying change in Social Security Benefits from
6th April 2020 in which i am notified of decrease effective from 27th Oct 2020
so cannot comprehend.. No criteria has changed. Cannot be me alone. What do you suggest?

Hi Patel

The only thing to do now is to ring and ask why it is being removed so they can explain the reasoning behind it and give you the chance to challenge it.
