Esa???

[marcus6]

Hi all,

 

 

My wife left me last year, But i have won her over and she will be coming back in 2 weeks time,

 

I'm on IC ESA SG , but my wife has put in for ESA, in the last 2 months, as she has fibromyalgia when she comes back to live with me, i understand only one of us can claim ESA?? but she should also be on it in her own right, so what way does this work, as she is not fit for work!! will the JC still call her in to talk about work.

 

 

Please help if you can, as i'm not sure what way all this is going to work, i also get top rate PIP for both.

 

Thanks

Is your wife on income based or contributions based ESA?

I'm not sure what she is on, all i know is she made the claim about 6 weeks ago, i will find out.

Ah, I'm glad that's what it is, as fibromyalgia is a real, disabling condition.

I assume by IC, you mean income based? If she's on income based, you close one claim down and make a joint claim. If she's on contributions based, that will count as income for your ESA if it's income based.
