Amount of benefit due to change.

Bryando

Claiming Income support as a couple with low rate mobility. What will we get per week? I have a letter here saying we're getting £43.25 because your sick or disabled. I was on high rate care but lost it.

If your only reason for receiving income support was your high rate care, then you stop being entitled to this at all.
You (and/or your wife) will have to claim JSA, ESA.
Have your care needs changed since your DLA was awarded?

Bryando

I was on Income Support before DLA. Was handing in sick lines that has stopped for at least 3 years. My care needs have not changed but DLA has stopped my high care. They say I can take reasonable precations to prevent danger and don't need somebody awake to watch over me. I think my shrink has said i have insight to danger. correct. but not always when the voicces are screaming and i end up confussed in the middle of the road! partner is awake til i sleep 3/4times per week as I feel suicidal. the partner is me taking reasonable precations!

In that case.

I suspect that you will be migrated over to ESA shortly.
This will require you to fill in an ESA50, and perhaps face a medical assessment.
When was the DLA decision?
Have you considered appealing this?

Bryando

I wondered when I would be moved onto ESA, will I be needing sick lines again? Yes in the early stage of appealing, just waiting for a statment of reasons and doctors report before I appeal. Better to have the full facts so I can construct some sort of case.
