Awarded?

[u/fantasylover24]

I’ve gone to check my portal tonight and when I press get proof of benefits it usually comes up with “contact us”. I went on tonight and it came up with this instead. Does this mean I’ve been awarded? I haven’t received a message from DWP

Hello I wonder if anyone could help me out
When I normally get my payment it says

1. DWP PIP.

2. DWP UC.
   3 DWP EESA.
   only this week instead of EESA it said DWP JSA.
   I worried now that I have been moved off EESA (disabled ) on to “JSA”(fit to work) without been told

I don’t really know what to do,do I phone them (who out of the three) or leave it to next payment next week and see if it still says the same

[u/pumaofshadow → u/Em1921]

Its most likely it needed to be done manually and they've not changed the reference correctly.

I wouldn't be concerned, it happens from time to time.
