any way, please tip my scales..... thank you Re: ESA when you have a job Originally Posted by Lilythepink Yes, but I am still on the assessment amount. I was never told that I was not going to get the full amount, and it was never explained to me. I nearly lost my job, because I have been off for so long. I have no money coming in from my work, and no benefits at all. Re: ESA when you have a job Yes i have, way back in July, and they asked for further evidence on 19/10. I have complained to DWP and asked for my claim to be passed to a senior manager, who then told me they had only received my dr's letter, etc yesterday, which is a lie as I posted it first class on 5th November 2012. LilythePink If you liked what I said, and if it helped in any way, please tip my scales..... thank you Re: ESA when you have a job I'm not sure what we can say to help. Even if they haven't made a made a decision by the time you go back to work - you can still get the back pay up till when you return to work if the decision is in your favour. If not in your favour you can still appeal the decision even though you went back to work.
