How do I tell which ESA I get was created by templee
I have read and re-read our ESA award notice and I can't find out if we are on income related or contribution based ESA. The claim is based on my wife's condition as she is the worst of the two of us. She is in the support group for ESA.
The most recent award letter mentions on page 4, the breakdown of payment page both contribution and income related? Does that mean we have both?
The reason I ask is that I need my eyes looking at as I think my condition is causing my vision to deteriorate, but we can't afford glasses on top of everything else. Free eye care is only available to income related ESA, but I can't tell which version we get.
Thanks for your help

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems

If you are receiving Income Related ESA then the statement should refer to the following;
Personal Allowance (Couples Rate) - £114.85
Disability Income Guarantee - £15.75
You used to be able to get a Statement of Entitlement letter that specifically stated that you were receiving ESA(IR).

If you are on a low income you can apply for an HC2 certificate, which gives you many of the benefits
