Decision letter query

Thanks as always, Gordon.

So in your opinion I shouldn't need to worry about receiving a brown letter inviting me to a WFI, and this is probably an "admin error"?

Any ideas where this might leave me regarding appealing any decision as mentioned on page 3 of the letter?

Hi J,

You are not the only one in The SG to receive a bodged, cut and paste letter from the DWP :

Hi J,

Just to negate any concerns that you may have regarding having to take part in WRA/WFI whilst in The SG, see :

DMG Chapter 53 53014. 2.

53014 The conditions1 referred to in DMG 53013 are that the claimant is

1. entitled to ESA or an advance award of ESA2 has been made (DMG 53200 et seq)

and

#2. not a member of the support group#

and

3. under the age at which a woman of the same age as the claimant attains pensionable age (see DMG Chapter 75) and

4. not a person who is only entitled to ESA(Cont) payable at nil rate.

5. not a lone parent who is responsible for and a member of the same household
as a child aged under one.


From :

DM Guide CH 53.

See also ESA Regulation 54 (2) (b)

As you don’t have to comply with WFI’s you don’t have to comply with WRA either.
