Just been on the phone to DWP about ESA after having had no money coming in for ten weeks due to DWP incompetence, at last they have sorted things out and will be back dating my claim. Can anyone tell me what happens next please............Marie xx
Smile a while and while you smile
smile another smile and soon there
will be miles and miles of smiles
just because you smiled I wish your
day is full of Smiles

    Give them three working days to put the money in your account, and if it's not in keep on their case you can even ask for an emergency payment through your local jobcenter. If you are receiving housing benefit when you get the payment letter you photocopy it and send a copy to your local council. Xxx
