Hi asking on behalf of a friend of my mom
So my mom's friend gets income related ESA and is in the support group and she's only just found out that if anyone living with you gets benefits your supposed to tell ESA which she had no idea.
Years ago when she wasn't in the support group her daughter was receiving income support for caring for her mom and she was getting it while they waited for a decision on her mom's pip assessment however she was not awarded pip and so the income support stopped she only got it for a few weeks.
Today someone has told her then when her daughter was getting Income support she should have told ESA is this correct because I thought ESA don't care what non dependent children get only if you have a partner?

In this case the daughters Income Support claim will not have any bearing on the mothers ESA.You are correct they would only need to know about a partner they maybe living with.1

Even if she was in the support group I don't think it would have made a difference either I knew she was told wrong0 -
