    I got my letter last week and the first thing I noticed was that the letter made its usual sense. Poor grammatical English too, on page 1

    "You are not getting any more income-related Employment and Support Allowance. We cannot pay you because you have a claim to Universal Credit" should really have been worded "You are no longer getting income-related Employment and Support Allowance. We cannot pay you because you have a claim to Universal Credit".

    Yes, lad, you know AI is a PG tips monkey at a PC. Is it really that difficult to drop the confusing repeated wording?
