What is EESA?

MoneySaverForever

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.

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
