What is EESA?

Hi, not sure if this is the right place to ask for help but I wanted to find out more about this if you can please. I've been placed into the ESA Support Group and whenever I have any payments into my bank account it has - "My Insurance Number EESA" as the payer... what is EESA? My DLA goes into my account and shows my National Insurance Number too but it's spelt correctly. Is it simply a spelling mistake or is it something else?

Thanks a lot for your help, hope you can put my mind at rest! :) xxx

    Mine says same... and I think everyone's. So either a mistake applying to all (perfectly possible at the DWP) or the E represents something meaningful to the DWP that you needn't worry about :)

    a bit of a late response! - but I think its Employment Support Allowance (ESA) http://www.dwp.gov.uk/policy/welfare-reform/employment-and-support/ as I have been looking after a relations bank related details and "DWP EESA" is listed as such, with DWP regarding 'department for work and pensions'. Im not sure what the first "e" may be relating to.

  • Hi

    Just a thought but I would assume it’s something like E evaluationestimation, Employment Support Allowance. As most of those rated for thisallowance are being re-assessed for income related. So this could be apossibility.

    Crikey, you learn something new every day! I don't get ESA, but just logged into my bank account to keep a track and noticed hubbies NINO against his CA, and my NINO against my SDA :eek:

  • Think it applies to people in the support group who are paid a disability premium and stands for Enhanced ESA.

    I am in the wrag group and have EESA too.
  • EESA stands for Enhanced Employment Support Allowance, which normally runs for 2 years before you get assessed again.

    Doesn't sound right to me.

    I am in the WRAG, 2 year award and my bank payments show EESA.

    I transferred from IB and still get transitional protection.

    It would still say EESA if you were 3 months in WRAG.

    Or even on assessment phase
