Hi im dee. Ive been on esa for few years now. During that period i had a child who will be 3 next month.

Ive had a review come through post. Not been able to face it yet even though im past deadline for sending it back. 

I think they will take me off esa because ive improved in the last year.  Worst case senario; my question is what will they put me on? Will it be IS or jsa or universal credit? Does this depend on the age of my son? 

Thanks in advance

    Hi @deem, I'm sorry to hear you're having a hard time with this.

    It's hard to face but it is important that you do contact them regarding the review, the process might otherwise become more difficult.

    We have some information about ESA and I hope our benefits calculator can help.

    Hi @deem
    I think what Mike is saying here is that no one will automatically change you onto a different benefit, but that you will have to make a claim yourself.  I hope this helps :)
