adult MHT -may be entitled to ESA benefit?!

[smileyK]

Been informed by adult MHT that to look into accessing ESA benefit was told by benefit hotline that not such benefit doesn't exist and I'm not entitled to claiming this benefit but adult MHT reckons otherwise so referring me to a team can help me enquire further as only work five hours a wk one hour a day! Just know strict rules down to physical assessments involved so questioned how this would successfully apply to me as I look "physically norm" on the outside! So don't think ill fit the high standards of assessment needed! So not expecting too much out of this! Does anyone else claim ESA benefit and work part time? I get DLA mums -(my appointee)

I claim ESA your probably end up on the WRAG if your assessed as being capable of work.

 

Look at this link https://www.gov.uk/employment-support-allowance/overview

 

Hope it helps

Looks like the ruling for income -based ESA fits my work situation as work under 16 hours
