Holiday abroad esa support group.

Poppy4929

Hello. 

Ive been on esa in support group since October 2020. My partner is insistent they want to take me abroad this year for a week. Do I need to legally notify DWP? Honestly the thought of sitting in that call centre queue makes me feel sick.

If you had searched for this information online, you would have found pages frrom Citizens Advice etc.

https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/sick-or-disabled-people-and-carers/employment-and-support-allowance/while-youre-getting-esa/esa-reporting-changes/

If you scroll down the page on the Citizens Advice site, it mentions what you need to do if going abroad;

I have and gov.U.K.  I found it unclear, should tell them vs must tell them is two different things. I was hoping to get input from someone who may know or experienced it themselves.

It's just 1 weeks holiday so no you don't need to tell them. If we told them ALL changes the telephone lines would be even worse than they are already.

Thank you. Just the automated voice gives me palpitations.
