Just had phone call from DWP telling me my ESA is ending today(8 weeks after my medical)???
I had my medical on the 1st July 2016,which as usual I have received "0"points!
They have told me I have to make a claim today (so that I get a continuation of benefit??)
Can somebody please tell me if they can do this with no warning?
And will this cause problems with my housing benefit/council tax(which happened to me before, whilst waiting for my appeal and took months to sort out(but lost out on a lot of benefit) so now i'm terrified that its going to happen again!!!!
Any advice would be welcome
Thanks

On thursday lastr week,I got a call from the the person who does tyhe reconsideration,he was very understanding and agreed that he could see how it could be confusing.So my benefit has been re-instated and back dated(inc housing benefit) so thanks or everyones help,Merry Christmas

I got an appointment for 10am 24/10/2013 about a month/6 weeks before the date,then i think it was about the 6/10/2013 I recieved what i thought was the same appointment,and a "cancellation of app" letter,but the app was for 20 mins later,now because i misread the letter and didnt attend the app there stopping my benefit.
they have told me there is no appeal,but i can request that they reviewe my reasons for not attending,
