  2. Hi, Thank you for your replies. Benefits for 2020-2021 was £130.65 per week, I received a letter this year in March 2021 for the same amount. Then I received another letter in April 2021 for a reduced amount of £114.10 per week, £16.55 less than the previous year. I’m in Support Group, components I have requested Job Centre Plus for a mandatory reconsideration, it’s been six weeks and I haven’t had any reply from Job Centre Plus The letter was sent by registered delivery Can you please check if I’m getting the correct amount of benefit? I don’t know why it has been reduced from the last year My circumstances haven’t changed since last year. I used to get letters from Department of Work and Pension regarding the benefit and now I am getting letters from Job Centre Plus, have the rules changed? I appreciate any advice. Thank you.
  3. Hello, I hope someone can help me. I have been on Contribution-Based ESA for a long time, in the support group. I had 2 letters from Job Centre Plus. One in March 2021 which shows the correct amount of benefit I should be receiving (£131 a week) In April I received another letter, the benefit was reduced to £113 a week. I have disputed this amount as my circumstances haven't changed. I telephoned Job Centre Plus last week to find out why it's been reduced. I was told two things; 1) They have sent me out a form to fill. I never received the form. 2) When my partner received permanent stay in the UK, I haven't notified them. My partner came to the UK 11 years ago, I telephoned DWP and told them my circumstances have changed (My partner is living with me) they sent me out a form to fill. In the form I stated in that form that I do not wish to claim any benefits for my partner. I had a few more forms sent to me later on in the years, which I filled out my partners details and stated that I do not wish to claim any benefits for my partner. I had a telephone call from Job Centre Plus late last year, asking me why I'm not claiming for my partner. I said she is looking for work and I don't want to claim for her. He said he wants me to close the claim and claim universal credit with my partner. I declined. I feel Job Centre Plus are trying to force me onto universal credit and cutting my benefit. Job Centre Plus are doing this just to keep their books in order and move me onto universal credit which I understand is a different department. I will be asking for reconsideration for this decision, and wait for what Job Centre have to say as I have had nothing in writing stating why my benefit has been reduced. I appreciate any help and advice. Please note my son is typing for me, so there may be a delay in replies. Thanks.

  11. Hi everyone, Just an update I've been to the tribunal last week and my appeal was allowed. The tribunal transferred me back to the support component and recommended the department does not reassess me within 24 months. I hope the government do something to sort this problem out and not waste taxpayers money. Thanks to everyone who helped me.
