Briefly, my husband was placed on IB many years ago. I was a stay at home mum, so when his job ended I was part of his claim. He then migrated to ESA Support Group. He also claimed for me. We have received our migration notice to claim UC jointly. I don't work. Our son has left home. I have been claiming PIP for Autism, ADHD and C-Ptsd until recently. My claim has gone to Tribunal. Husband receives highest rate PIP, too. I am claiming Housing Benefit for us both. Long story short, being Autistic etc affects my ability to work, so I assume I'll have to go through the Fit Note process? Can anyone advise me if this is the case? Can anyone offer any other relevant advice before the claim process begins? We've just been through a section 21 no fault eviction and found housing by the skin of our teeth, and I'm frazzled, so having to get the UC claim in by June is going to be tough on my brain cells……I'm more out of touch than I realised. I'm 53 and it's all getting too much to cope with. People, confound me with your knowledge!!
