Do you keep getting paid as normal until you have another assessment and how would you know if they have stopped your ESA? Also would you receive another ESA50 questionnaire through the post before you have another assessment?

My friend isn't due to get his fortnightly ESA until Thursday yet today when he checked his account he had around £50 more in there since he last checked, what could the mystery payment be?

Yes, your ESA will continue until another assessment takes place, and you would normally receive an ESA50 prior to that.

As to the extra money, it's not easy to know. Is he sure the money is from the DWP?

No he has no idea where it came from, could it be he's had the ESA money stopped and that was the payment up to the day it was stopped?

Well, that's possible I suppose. I guess the first thing to do would be to contact his bank and establish where the money came from. If it is from the DWP, he'd probably be best to call them and ask what's going on.

I said he needs to look at his bank statement when it comes to find out who payed it in, but if they have stopped his ESA wouldn't they have told him by letter? He hasn't received an ESA50 or anything through the post since he was placed in Support Group about a year and a half ago.

They would normally send a letter if they were stopping his ESA for any reason, yes. However, that letter can take a day or two to arrive, so it's worth checking up just to see. If nothing has changed on his claim and he hasn't yet been asked to attend another assessment then it seems unlikely that they'd just stop his payments, so he's probably OK. But mistakes do get made sometimes so for peace of mind he should look into it.

Thank you i will tell him to contact the DWP to clarify things, he has brought a few presents for family members online recently but i doubt that would affect his claim.

My friend is on ESA WRAG group and next week he has an interview at the jobcentre, because he suffers from bad anxiety and depression he's very worried about it.

Anyone know what happens at these interviews and has he got anything to worry about?

He's been in the WRAG group since mid last year and had one appointment at JCP but they never contacted fim again until last week when he got a letter regarding this interview.

Random question but is a short ESA WCA a good or bad sign? My friend recently had one and it only lasted 15-20 mins

in my experance short is usually good news as they have no case aganst you

I refer you to post 110

threads merged yet again

KEEP TO THIS THREAD!!

Okay thank you, i will tell him to stop worrying so much.

My friend is currently in the WRAG and he asked me what group do short assessments usually mean the claimant will be placed in?

no hard and fast rule at all.
