ESA new rates

Heycock

Hi.
Just going through bank statements and I noticed wife's ESA is still coming through at last year's rate. Anyone know if there's been a delay in implementing the increase? Thought I'd check before I phone them on the bounce!
Thanks.:)

Hmmm shouldn't have been a delay... the benefit is paid in arrears so you might see an apparency of couple week delay or therabouts but no more I wouldn't have thought.

was she previously on Incapacity Benefit ?

if so it may be that her ESA wont be going up at all, have you got the figures ?

Thanks for the replies. She's always had ESA and went from WRAG to Support over a year ago. Last year it was £99.85 per week and this is the rate she's still getting. Should be £105.05 as far as I can tell.
