DSA stopped

jeff_chandler

Been on this benefit after a couple of knee operations which I now have grade four Osteoathritis. My hips have now started to play up.
I received a letter a couple of months ago stating I now only have £67 per week, I got one this morning telling me my claim has stopped and I`m no longer entitled to anything.

I get an IIB benefit and a low DLA benefit. My wife has a pension and also ESA. This totals to £187 per week and they tell me that is what they believe sufficient to live from. I dont get any council tax reduction nor any other benefit.

Although I`m disabled and limited movements I asked if I could go on JSA, this would give me £67 per week, seems the only way to get entitlements.
I have worked all my life, paid taxes and and treated like this.

Your post does not make much sense ...

Which benefit has been stopped - DSA, DLA, IB, IIDB or ESA?

Is it income based ESA that has stopped under the 365 day rule?

Apply and see if you are now entitled to any council tax benefit or help with rent if you do not have a mortgaged property.

are either you or your wife old enough for pension credit?

Only contributions based ESA would stop under the 12 month rule.

What is IIB - do you mean Incapacity benefit? I am presuming you don't mean that SDA has stopped (if you are referring to IB as it's either SDA or IB awarded, not both for one person)

It sounds like you were on assessment phase of ESA? (not sure that should have applied if its an IB transfer)

Did you attend a medical? What is the reason they stated for it stopping if it is ESA you are referring to?

I agree with above, you need to say exactly what benefits you was on, what benefits you are on now, have you been reassessed, were you sent a letter?
