Esa contribution based was created by Mummyfox
Can any one offer any advise, my husband has just won an appeal for Esa, we have been backed dated and am very happy with the outcome, only now I have been told I have to attend a back to work interview myself to look at getting me back to work, and if I don't attend my husbands benefit may be stopped. It is contribution based so not income related, the thing is I home school my three children so am not free to go out to work, what I'm asking is can they force me back into work? Surely it has no effect on his benefit if I choose not to work.
Many thanks

It's really a tick box exercise they can't force you to work or do anything other than attend the interview, they normally last about 10 minutes, they'll ask if there is any assistance they can offer, you'll say "no" and that will be it.
