    I'm confused why you started another thread, i already answered your question on your other thread. https://forum.scope.org.uk/discussion/90444/esa-confusion#latest it wouldn't have included any Income Support because that has always been a separate benefit.

    As i advised on your other thread IB had different rates depending on your disability and how long it was expected to last. You can see some information here. https://www.welfarerights.net/uk-benefit-guides/incapacity-benefit/

    If you want to know how it was worked out then as i previously advised, you can request the information DWP hold on you between certain dates. Please see your other thread for the links.


    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
