Synchronised posting strikes again

I think chrissie was referring to this, in the OP by acecoffee

"i cant find much information online other then the ''you will also automatically count as having limited capability for work if you get DLA.'' "

Thank you Jim, thats what i thought ace coffee had got it wrong

i cant find much information online other then the ''you will also automatically count as having limited capability for work if you get DLA.''
so does that mean i will automatically getinto the main phase payment ?

what would the prograss of ESA be for full time disabled student ? when will i recieved my first payment .

another quetion is i m going on hoilday for 2 months in the end of june ,and i was told to stop the assessment phase while i m hoilday and restart it after i m back , does that mean i have to reapply for the whole ESA again or and back to first week of assessment phase or i will start on when ever week i left withtill the main phase ?

Hi,

Sorry but we cannot answer questions about individual circumstances.

The reason you probably cannot find much online is that the rules for claiming ESA as a full time student are somewhat complicated.

They are basically as at para15 of the following document:

www.disabilityrightsuk.org/f31.htm

but as always do seek face to face advice as they can go through your own individual circumstances.

Re going away, it is possible to ask the DWP for a 'rapid reclaim' on return.

I think paragraph 6.2 of Pete's link is also relevant :

6.2 Treated as having limited capability for work
