My IB ESA has now stopped how are you supposed to survive ? I applied in April for IB ESA so I can't reapply as far as I can see.

Hi SB,

After looking back at your posts, it seems that your last WCA was a lot more than six months ago, the fact that you have recently been financially assessed for IR ESA, should not have any baring on this, as you were still classed as having LCW in the WRAG.

Therefore, as more than 6 months has elapsed since the time of the most recent decision as a result of an ESA WCA, you should be able to make a fresh claim.

I should state here, that you can also make a fresh claim for ESA before 6 months have elapsed, since the last award decision if your medical condition has deteriorated or you now suffer from different medical conditions. You would need to provide proof of this from your G.P.

You can also appeal the decision, to stop your benefit on a technicality, for none return of The ESA50. As, previously stated, your first step would be to challenge the DWP/ATOS to provide administrative evidence that the ESA50, and the reminder letter were posted to you, with the correct name, address and postcode.

You may wish to gain professional advice on this issue :

You could also try putting Welfare Rights/Advice into your internet search engine with your Town/Postcode.

Having been taking off my ESA as previous post I was advised to try part time work applied for JSA but refused the reason being I have apparently not paid enough nat ins in the yrs 07 to 09 where I previously tried workin but had to return to benefits after my health deteriated again. I have rung nat ins and they say I'm paid up but the jobcenter won't hear of it ? What do you think regards SB

Thanks for your help up to press ! Can I find out if I'm being investigated as far as I know I haven't done anything wrong but just have this feeling ?

Sorry but I don't trust the DWP donno what to do.
