    Probably should have.

    to me it looks like support group, but wait until someone more knowledgeable comes along. Remember the 12 months may start from the first date of receiving ESA though :/

  • Thank you Mazza, does anyone know how i get this moved to correct section, or would i just post the question again?

    Sorry to appear impatient.... but i am worried, we have had lots of issues over the whole ESC claim, and just when we thought it was sorted..... now this to fight over.

    I am never sure where to post queries about ESA, so often put a post in both and hope that people don't mind:)
