On ESA - can I change my postal address?

Posts: 6 Forumite

Hi. I live alone, but I've always had my post sent to my parents' address for practical reasons. I explained it to the people at the Jobcentre years ago and they were fine with it, and all my post has been delivered there since (I believe as a c/o address)
However, my parents' postman has changed and it's now somebody I know. And the thought of them handling my DWP letters (because they're pretty obvious) is making me anxious. Getting the letters sent to my house is less than ideal but still preferable to the embarrassment of the postman I know handling them.
So is there any way to change my postal address? Will it count as a change of circumstances? (The only change is the postman) Will I be migrated over to UC?? Is there any way to receive official DWP letters online instead? Like email?

You can't receive ESA letters online, they have to be sent through the post. If the address held by ESA is a c/o address just tell them that you now want all post sent directly to your home address instead.0
