    Have you had an assessment for ESA yet and if so were you awarded support group/ LCWRA ? If so is the LCWRA element on your Uc claim? I am just asking as I recently had a client who had claimed both and that element had never been added to his claim , he had missed out on over a years worth of UC payments because ESA had not informed Uc and he did not know he should inform them. If overpayments could be reduced, then you may be eleigble for a small amount of UC which would at least mean you would qualify for cost of living payments etc.

    They've already confirmed in a previous comment that they were placed into the WRAG.
