This is not the correct forum to be discussing this case. If you want to exchange views it should be in the cyber pub.

So IB is means tested, then? That's interesting.

It can be difficult to form an opinion on something when there are things that don't add up - for example claiming IB and a private pension.....

not means tested as such but it an be reduced or not paid at all if you have a private pension depending on how much that pp is

I think you probably could, but it would most likely be under the mental category, ie a risk to others, seeing as you are pre-disposed to wanting to shoot strangers who you dont like, which quite clearly could be said to put you in a risk to others category if you were put in the workplace.

Sorry about that. Suffering from a pain apparently the equivalent of childbirth 24/7/365 tends to affect ones mental state from time to time.

Your 'morals' (which include wanting to shoot people) and work ethic would not come into the equation, you do realise, how these benefits work surely, having previously actually tried to claim ESA....

I have had an ESA claim for a couple of months. Not sure what you mean by "realising how these benefits work". Could you elaborate?
