I'm a she.😂 I'm claim ESA (Contributions Based) and in the support group which isn't time limited. However if I wasn't placed in the support group and had been put into WRAG I would've only got ESA for 12 months.

I get CBESA and LCWRA but no pip

I get my cbesa every two weeks and my lcwra at the end of the month.... My ESA gets deducted from it

Hi yogibear,

I'm so sorry for misunderstanding you for a he. If ever there was a case for a person showing their age, that was it by, on account of I used to love the cartoons as a kid. although I was slightly too old for it at the time. anyways my apology and I shall immediately slap my wrist and castigate myself for it. 😉

I think you'll be okay Catherine.

When filling the form in do you put your rent for housing benefit when applying as usually it's dealt with by local council. Are DWP and local council in cahoots.

Socrates63

Hi tumilty

I can only speak for myself but actually spoke to the person when migrating over and they assured me that they would take care of hb themselves, and they did to my discovery after I rang my local council offices and they indeed confirmed dwp had been in touch and all sorted. hope that helps.

Tumilty

@Socrates63 thanks for your reply I did think that.

Also I hear that they are a different department to ESA and they also contact them regarding health and reasons on ESA..We worry about stuff because of our health issues but generally is straight forward.

Socrates the great Brazilian midfielder.

Hi tumilty

Shucks, I don't like to brag. That was many moons ago. I also been know to dabble in the old philosophy as a sideline 😉. re:about your post concerning health etc, yes they do go into it with your local council. assuming you're in council or housing association. suppose they have to, to cover themselves. understandable I suppose. Take care

socrates.

Hi again tumilty,

I can't for the life of me work out the punchline on that one. I've been on it for hours. no, sorry uve beaten me. put me out of my misery. What a bizarre picture I've got in my mind, the great socrates on the team bench smoking a ****(terribly hooked on the fags by the way) talking team tactics in a Scottish accent. Funnily enough he almost caused a coup in his own country by threatening to bring to team(national) out on strike over pay. He was a very deep thinker of politics. Hence his nickname socrates. one of the coolest of footballers ever to play the game. in my humble opinion of course. funnily enough I almost used my old username but thought better of it. Just thought I'd share that. 🤔

Socrates63

Can't think why a word been blotted out in my txt. I used that same word in next sentence but it wasn't blotted out. no idea why. wasn't offensive or rude. how strange.

Socrates63

Not sure if I sent those posts to right person. hope so. if not, oops I apologise.

Socrates63

Hi ranald,

Oops and double even triple oops. That never occurred to me. It's been a few years since I heard anyone been misconstrued about slang word for something else. naughty old Hector! or rather naughty old socrates. have to try and be more mindful in future. thanks for that. Cheers mate. 👍

Socrates63

Excellent. Typical Scottish humour. Typical of fergie as well. Just can't imagine socrates with accent. Like something out of monty python.

Socrates63

I do remember Miller. I also remember fergie at Aberdeen. Don't quote me on this, but in his 1st week there he almost got sacked for telling the long standing tea lady where to go, if you get my drift. Anyways true what you say bout yesteryears. They'll never come back. Too much money. See you soon.

luvpink

Well this thread seems to have gone away from the original topic.

Socrates63

Hi luvpink,

Sorry about that. I tend to waffle when Im reminiscing. Get a bit carried away. I'll behave myself now and get back to the matter in hand.ill try to fit in a bit better from now.

Hope you are well,

Take care

No problem.

Have a nice day.

Socrates63

Yes. You too matey. 👍

Tumilty

@Socrates63 and @Ranald yes they were good days for football, that Brazil team of 82.and when teams like Aberdeen, Dundee Utd, Forest and Villa could win things. Socrates typical medical student, drinks and smokes, philosopher too.

Sorry @luvpink my fault for bringing it up. 🙏
