    Hi @loz64

    A very very warm/big welcome to you !!!!!!

    We have got a benefit calculator on our website.

    I have posted the link to it below.

    Many thanks.

    Hi @loz64, welcome to the community!

    Sorry to hear you're having trouble. As Steve suggested, the benefits calculator could be a good way of assessing what benefits you might be entitled to, due to your circumstances.

    There is more information on how the number of hours you work affects ESA here, and you can also find more information on various types of benefits on Scope's website here.
