Jobcentre Plus will be sending out letters to all claimants who will be affected by the proposed changes to Contribution based ESA.
Quote:These proposed changes are not yet law. However, given their possible effect, Jobcentre Plus have decided to write to claimants to prepare them to this possible change. Starting on 19 September 2011 and running over a 4 week period, we will write to all claimants receiving contribution-based ESA to advise them that their contribution-based benefit may be limited to 12 months.

DWP Adviser PagesIf the changes go ahead and you have a partner who earns over approx £150 pw or you have capital of over £6000 then you could be affected by this new rule which is planned to start in Spring 2012.This could mean the loss of your ESA money.
