For you mother to be eligible she will need to meet the following;

1. A qualifying award of DLA or AA award of at least Medium care or a Daily living award of PIP.

2. She must live alone or be considered to be living alone, this means anybody living with her must also have a qualifying award.

3. She must be receiving a means-tested benefit such as ESA(IR) or Income Support but not UC which has no premiums.

To apply she needs to contact the helpline for her means-tested benefit, she will need to complete an IS10 form which captures information about her living arrangements, she should be able to do this over the phone.

Thank you Gordon, she is on income based esa , has standard daily award of pip and lives alone so believe she is eligible but was not sure where to apply , so it appears we need to contact a esa helpline ? Oh my goodness wonder if we will get through ! after hearing waiting times ! Aww well will get on it , i did wonder if you could contact your local job centre or local dwp office ?

Hi george

Nothing in life is easy, not with DWP ;-) follow Gordon's sound advice. Contact ESA enquiry line: 0800 169 0310 first thing in the morning.
