If you do not want to send the original documents then you can book an appointment with your local JC+ office where they can scan the documents while you wait and email them directly to the office that has asked for them.

AS to why you have received it, there have been several DWP memos reminding staff that ESA is a single benefit with two payment options and that just because someone is only receiving ESA(CB) this does not preclude them from also receiving and ESA(IR) top-up.

Many thanks Gordon,

Unable personally to get to a jobcentre unless husband is around to get me there. No doubt they will not acept just him turning up and it is quite a distance from us.

We are not entitled to any IR top ups as he works ( altho he was made redundant last week from his 3 or 4 day a week job, he still has a few self employed work coming in which will take us over the threshold)

They should know I live with my husband and that he works and therefore are not eligeable to claim any IR topups unfortunately.

I shall send the originals along with the letter telling them to return my paperwork as it is easier.
My MP is arriving in a week or so after the Budget to discuss how it will affect me and I shall raise the problem re originals being asked for in the post and show him the abrupt letters sent to one and all.

thank you

:woohoo:

OH GRIEF O’RILEY!!!!!!!!!!!!WHATEVER NEXT!

Many thanks PCM for sharing this with us…………….just when I thought that the news that was on the BBC was bad enough……………..!

I wonder PCM, if you or anyone else in the same boat get a spare minute, is there any kind of correlation with regard to your anticipated reassessment date (s)?

Gordon, may I ask, if one of these forms were received and you required, say, a letter from a solicitor to authenticate your finances, would the DWP accept an accompanying letter of explanation that, said letter would follow at a later date do you think?

Some paperwork’s impossible to get your hands on in a week!!!!!!!!

Sincere regards

P.

The DWP can be a law unto themselves in these matters, however, I would expect a prompt response explaining any delays would be accepted.

I receive one of my pensions via the internet so print out info as I need, hard then to work out what's an original. Not yet heard back after sending all documentation but hubby did receive a letter this morning with the usual blurb "we have looked at your claim again....." , money exactly the same. The P60 I photocopied on the printer. No way I would send originals.

Hi Petrocelli,

Timeline of benefits to date.

DLA HR care/mobility since 2005 Indefinite
IB from 1999 until first ESA I think in 2011.
They put me in the WRAG, (No Medical just paper trail) I managed to get into SG CB for 18 months ( Oct 2013) after apealing with help from MP.
Received a new ESA in June 2013 and sent a'book' plus the completed form and was placed into the SG CB straight away without a Medical,.
Next ESA due in July 2016 for Oct 2016.

DLA to PIP who knows !!!!

So god knows why the ESA2 form with all the threats included
