I am in receipt of ESA (support group). I will shortly be attending hospital to see a specialist. The hospital I have chose is between 50-100 miles from my home (the nearest one has a bad reputation). Will I be elegible for traveling expenses? If so - how will I receive the expenses? Before or after the visit?
Being in the Support Group does not entitle you to anything but receiving Income Related ESA should mean that your costs are covered although there are restrictions on how you travel, you may also qualify if you have a low income.
