Is it possible to get proof of PIP & ESA without details like rates, etc?

Hi,

I need letters that confirm I'm in receipt of ESA and PIP, but do not mention details (what rates I'm getting, that I'm in the Support Group, etc). Hoping someone can advise how I might be able to obtain such documents?

I need proof of benefits for an application, but I don't want the solicitor, and the team assessing my application, all seeing exactly what I'm getting. I'm a private person, and extremely uncomfortable with strangers knowing details of my personal finances.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated! :)

Hi Faith

You could ask the DWP to write you such a letter (but I'm not sure they will agree). You could redact the information from the benefit letters you have received.

Hi BIS,

Thank you. I will try that, and report back, in case anyone else is wondering if it's possible to obtain less revealing documents.

Cheers :)
