Hi! I made a grave error sending off a letter to inform ESA that my diagnosis has changed from Bi polar to schizoaffective disorder. There was no need as I’m in support group, now that could change. I feel like an idiot. I included my psychiatrist letter saying that I could not work and my social worker saying that I’m moving into supported accommodation and lastly a letter saying that I’m severely deaf. Do you think this will help? I have only had paper based assessments in the past I think due to being deaf. Perhaps I’m wrong. I’m also an in patient in hospital and have been for the last five months does this make a difference to being called up for an assessment? Thank you for reading.

The documents may help but there are no guarantees, all you can do is wait and see what happens.

Hi
Did you inform dwp you have been in hospital for 5 months because this would be regarded as a change of circumstances and your money should have stopped after being in hospital for 4 weeks.

That is the rule for PIP, not ESA.

ESA can continue in payment for 52 weeks before there are any reductions to payments.
