HI David,
I haven't replied yet because I was waiting for my MP to get back to me. Confusing, even though I received a letter giving me a month to migrate to universal credit, the MP have been in touch with DWP who has said 'your next ESA review is not until 2026 and you do not have a Universal Credit claim'. DWP are asking me 'to confirm if you are asking to not be migrated to Universal Credit'.
I am confused because I am challenging why I was not initially put into the contributions ESA because I can still have savings and then migrate to universal credit.
Am I right to think that if I wait until 2026, my benefits, such as housing benefit, will stop because I have not migrated to Universal Credit?
Please assist me. I suffer from refractory epilepsy and the stress is having a massive impact on my health.
Many thanks
Danielle

Hi Danielle
I think you are going to need some personal assistance on this matter, maybe from Citizens Advice or another local Advice Agency.
Surely your MP has received a detailed response from the DWP?

Hi…
David, is it possible that Danielle has a similar situation as I had last week…where she was put on contribution based esa from the start, with a top up of income based. My experience was that I was never told this, and every letter always made it look like it was income based only.
I don’t know what the solution is, but just wondered if that was a possibility?

Hi DJMH15
Yes that is a distinct possibility. The award letters posted by the ESA section confuse everybody.
