    Have you checked with your bank to see if they are having any issues with their system?

    At your new address, are you living independently or with someone else?

    Did you notify DWP this when changing your address?

    Living with your daughter won’t affect your ESA unless you were claiming the severe disability premium on top before you moved in with her. If you were claiming this then you will have an overpayment. This maybe the reason why your ESA has stopped. ESA income related support group is approximately £127.15 per week without the severe disability premium. To know for sure what’s happened you’ll need to ring DWP when they open.

    Your PIP won’t be affected.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    You will definitely lose the SDP £64 approximately per week. unless your daughter claims a qualifying benefit herself like DLA mid/high rate care or PIP daily living. Part of the criteria for this is you must live alone or be classed as living alone.
