    Hi Happy, It sounds possitive but no one else can answer your question but the DWP. My advice would be to ring them again and ask what the decision was. This is the only way you'll know unless you wait for the letter.

    Hi

    The same happened to my daughter. It looks like you have been awarded a continuance of your ESA Award.

    Best wishes

    hi.

    I had similar letter last year concerning ESA. for what my story's worth, I rang and rang sometimes waitng 3/4 of an hour. eventually got through. told me not to worry, just procedural letter, they give them out all the time. anyway, did as told and didn't worry. that was nearly 12 months ago. nothing changed, still get my entitlement. so hope that helps. all the best.

    My rule of thumb is don't believe it, until you see it in writing! Too many times I have been told something over the phone, and its not what is clarified in a letter!
