    The only way to find out what's happened is to ring them and ask.

    Did you find out why you haven't received your ESA?

    Nope.  Someone was due to call me back within 3 hrs and needless to say that never happened.

    That's not unusual. The call centre pass a message to the benefit office and the call back time for urgent things such as non-payment of benefit is supposed to be 3 hours but it does frequently happen that either the call back takes 24+ hours or even that no call back is received.
    You may find that your ESA is in your account tomorrow morning. If not, may mean phoning once again. I find it best to phone at 8am when the lines open.
