I have just started as a full time student. Up until then I was on ESA (WRAG) and DLA lower rate mobility.
I am getting a loan of £5555 p.a and a special support grant
I am told that because I am on DLA I can continue claiming ESA although I think that my income will be just over the limit
Is it possible to be awarded ESA yet not get any money i.e have an underlying entitlement .
As for HB I am also told that if I qualify for ESA I will get HB, the other option is to send in sick notes (to the council I think) because I have been sick for 26 weeks prior and I will still get HB.
The council , bunch of XXXXXXX that they are have suspended my HB until I provide the info from the ESA
I am looking for advice, reassurance, etc. It's hard enough coping with 18 hrs of class a week without extra hassle
