"the amount the law says you need to live on.."

What is this on some of my letters? I am disabled on DLA.. does that mean they can't reject me for ESA? or they have to pay me something else to make up the difference for the same amount? (Income Support, JSA I don't care what it's under as long as I get the same amount)

    regardless of if you claim ESA or JSA, the amount will be the same. ( sick/disabled can no longer claim income support)

    even though ESA is paid at a higher rate than JSA, people on JDA receive a premium if they get low rate care DLA
