Does receipt of ESA qualify one for other benefits?

My daughter is in receipt of PIP and has been unable to work since 2016. Following my recent query as to why she was not receiving National Insurance credits (which had to be raised to her MP before it was confirmed that she should have been receiving NI credits) she has been receiving regular payments to her account as ESA but no correspondence respect of this. I have two questions, should she be receiving ESA backdated to 2016 and does ESA qualify her for any other benefits?

Thank you Katharine

Hi Beeing

Welcome to the forum.

You might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explains where everything is; www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/guides-for-claimants/faq/forum.

We cannot answer your question as we do not have all the facts, we would advise you to seek help and advice from your local Welfare Rights Organisation; advicelocal.uk , they will be able to take all daughters situation into account.
