Would you like to explain the difference to us less enlightened folk the difference between sickness and disability benefits, and what does the ESA cover exactly, maybe you could give examples!.

ESA is for those who cannot work due to sickness (which may be due to a disability, but many disabled are able to work).

DLA is for care and mobility needs as a result of disability.

If you would like any further information could I suggest that you ask a little less abruptly?

I was not asking you or your lapdog Healy, I was asking sunnyone for a explanation of his ridiculous statement.

sunnyone's information is correct, unless you have authoritative information to prove otherwise?

This might be of assistance to you in your search ...

It's a public forum, therefore other people may reply to any post you make. If you wanted to only ask Sunnyone specifically and didn't want other people to reply, then maybe a PM would have been better suited.

No I wouldnt care to explain to someone as ignorant as you who cannot ask a civil question in a civil way.

I am correct, ESA is not a disability benefit but a sickness benefit.

I thought not, basically you started typing before engaging your brain.
Why was the article misleading?.

It seems to tell it like it is , warts and all.

I have given you an explanation. If you incapable of understanding it, then if you politely explain what you find difficult I shall elaborate. However, given you are still being offensive, I can only guess that you would rather have an argument than clarify your understanding?

Still very confused about the whole ESA thing. I know someone who has been on IB for 7 or more years, has been told she does not need any more sick notes from the doctor, and does not need to ever have one of those PCA things and claims high rate DLA in both care and mobility componants, how does it work for her as most say they will be assessed for ESA when their next PCA is due, will they just write to her out of the blue and say she now needs to attend a medical? i just dont get it.
