Hi

I think that was just coincidence

It does state on all benefits you have a legal duty to inform them of any changes moving is on of them. if you don't  you may miss mail from them .PO redirection is only usually done for 3 months I would just inform them and try not to worry .

Hi ginge

I have to agree with Rose54, as it was probably coincidence last time. When we moved to the bungalow my wife was not sent for as she is on PIP. I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck with your move, and I sincerely hope that it all works out well for you.

All my hopes and dreams for you

I have been moved 4 months nearly 5 now and nothing  I live 5 miles away from my old address so still in same district. Sometimes it just happens at the same time and we put it down to the move. Just ring and say change of address don't ask anything as you don't want to put the thought in their head they tend to over think as it is. Talking about it has probably jinxed me now as I think I am definitely due even though I had an indefinite award.  Wish we could just wave the magic wand and be well they could keep their money then.x

I've moved twice since I had PIP, and Have only had a letter confirming I was still entitled to PIP. I also have to notify various other agencies due to benefits I receive and have realised I only need to tell one department, who then notifies the others.

Hope this helps.😄

Hi there

When you call the JobCentre to tell them your new adddress re ESA they will probably offer to let DLA know.

However, if I were you I would still call them yourself.  If the message doesn't get across you can have your benefits stopped for not informing them.

Wishing you a peaceful Easter
