can claim ESA IR ?? or UC? - Tue, 29/10/2024 - 13:14
I have a really basic question but cannot find the answer.
I have had a query from someone who has just gone onto the assessment phase of new style esa. Her partner has recently become ill and he is in receipt of SSP. I want to work out if they will get a top up but would they be able to claim income related ESA to top up or would it be Universal Credit. If it is income based ESA how do they go about claiming that ?
