Last Thursday I was supposed to get my ESA paid into my account, it normally happens just before midnight the night before, but always before 8AM on the day in question. I normally get payments over a 3 week period then miss a week and it starts again.
the last time it happened I just emailed them and it was paid by the end of the day, I had just moved into the ex's old place, she died, and I moved back in to stop them kicking my son out. They wanted the place for a person with disabilities so I made a deal with them one of 2 areas or I stay put I got this place close to were I wanted.
Now to the point of last Thursday (18/12/14) they put £10 in for my personal independence payment Xmas bonus but not the ESA payment at 14:07 I emailed the DWP the following email
I am due a payment of ESA today 18/12/14 as of 13:46 today no payment has been received. Please make this payment within 48 hours or face action where only financial compensation will be adequate to compensate me. Their will also be a county court claim which will incur costs and I will add these to the amount. The amount at present is £355.60, but once I send any papers to the court there will be no stopping the action until the court charges are paid plus £150 and the Employment and support allowance.
I just decided to phone them and according to them they have taken £61.10 a week off me for changing from DLA to PIP they issued an IS10 last Thursday they have reduced the money to £112: XX a week.
I am going to fill in the IS10 and post it straight back, I blew my top when they said they had deducted the SDP because it was a new claim for PIP but they have had quite some time to work out if I am entitled to it as they awarded me PIP before the end of July so it has taken them nearly 5 months to decide to send an IS10 and stop part of the benefit that I believe I am fully entitled too.
I was told if I hadn't received it by new years eve to call them WTF they issued it on the 18/12/14 that's why I wasn't paid. I will copy it and email the DWP an advance copy for their records and add 1 for my own records. If they are saying another week, well two weeks nearly from date they say they issued it then I assume they haven't even put it in the post yet.
Although I live with my son I live a totally separate life from him he gets up takes the dogs out then either goes out or spends the day in his bedroom on the PC or watching TV. While I surf the net or watch some TV.
EDIT
It's close to 5 weeks and I am £61.10 a week down if they don't get a move on, say 2 weeks then I will kick off, I know they got it back the same day I got the IS10 24/12/14 because I emailed them a copy in advance. I am not giving them 12 or 13 weeks because that will mean loss of Carers allowance so I intend to get one or the other and before the 3 months are up.
