    Yes it just seems unfair that anyone with any illness has 3 months with out the extra financial help 
    You may think that, I’m sure others do too. The rule for UC mirrors that which has applied to ESA since it was introduced in 2008.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.

    Everyone that claims either ESA Support Group or UC with LCWRA has some kind of health condition that limits their capability to work but the rules still apply.
