esa3

Hi there, I have managed to look at the document link that you posted for ESA3. It is exactly the same as mine, but it does say re-assessment on the front. Is this definitely just a financial assessment? Not a medical assessment. Also, Also the welfare advisor I spook to previously on the phone said I would only get some of the money back for the esa premium that they didn't pay me as my mum was getting underlying entitlement for carers allowance. Where do I find out how much my mum is being paid extra, as there is a question on the form regarding this. I have looked at her state pension and pension credit payments and she doesn't seem to get much more than she should. Many thanks.

Ok Gordon, thank u very much for your re-assurance. I was informed by the welfare advisor that i wouldn't receive the full SDP as my mum gets some of it, but she said I should've got about £14 of it, and I should ask for this to be backdated from the start of my ESA claim in 2012. Does that sound right to you? If so, could you point me in the direction of where to find out where I could see what or if, she is getting extra money in her pension credit with her underlying entitlement please. Would it be the pension service or the disability service/carers service. Many thanks.

Sorry, forgot to ask. Would I have to let housing benefit/council tax benefit know. I already have to make up a shortfall in my rent, will I receive less housing benefit. I have been exempt from council tax, will that change do you know. Best wishes.
