Hi all just a question about my ESA
Thayve stopped mine as Ive had it for 12 months but Im still to Ill, as I have a bad heart and wont get better, 4 weeks ago I split with my partner and moved in with my elderly parents until I sort something out with a house ect...as shes met someone alse...
Now since ive move in with my parents Ive had this letter off the DWP saying my contribtion base ESA has stopped and I will have to apply for income related ESA....
When I was with my partner she was working and it states (if your partner in doing 24 per week or you have a capital between you worth over £1600 then you may not be intitled.
But the circumstances have changed and it means my elderly parent whom are in there 70's will have to support me is that right???
Plus my mother thinks me claiming/being there will affect how much rent she will have pay / connsil tax ..at the mo they dont have to pay anything as there both pentioners...

Could anyone poss advice thanks

Daz

P.S I know I should have let them know but I though I would be geetin back with girlfriend but she met someone else.....

you need to ring ESA straight away, do a change of address over the phone and tell them you have split up with your partner.
You may be entitled to ESA IB.

Your parents should notify the LA that you are staying at their address,
the LA will tell them if it effects their housing benefit..
