Hi bw,

This letter sounds very much like the standard benefits uprating letter that all benefit recipients receive this time of year :

www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/forum?view=top...=10&id=102458#127097

If you had been reassessed, you would have to have been made aware that a reassessment had been instigated.

If you still have any doubts, you can contact The DWP :

THE ESA PHONE NUMBER DWP : 0345 608 8545 Press Option 3 for ESA.

Cheers

These letters create the same confusion every year ! It's about time the DWP made it clearer - perhaps then their staff could actually do their paid job instead of answering unnecessary queries. Not rocket science Mr. IDS !
