Hello,
I wanted to ask for some much needed help and advice.
I am currently receiving PIP and WTC as I am self employed and mainly work from home not making much to be honest
next to nothing.
My care team have mentioned I am entitled to ESA but never looked into it as I don't want to go through all the
assessments, paperwork and stress of it all, as the PIP was so much work just to get that and took me a long time.
I am receiving Working Tax Credit and classed as self employed, making less than £50 a week
sometimes not even making anything, would this be a problem if i was to claim ESA as well?
My carer told me that I would already be in the DWP system due to me receiving PIP and would definetely be entitled
as I get enhanced rate for both the care component and mobility components.
I rather ask a forum as I don't want to cause any disruption or problems to what I receive already.
Many thanks
