    Hello @joe99 Pleased to meet you.  Welcome. First thing I would like to say is not too sure of an answer.

    I just wanted to welcome you and hope you can find a solution to your problems. Benefit enquiries are so complex.

    Despite what you have been told I would always seek some support and advice from people who know.   Just a suggestion.

    Reading from your post I would take a look at our benefit advice on PIP plus ESA and anything that helps you. Seek advice from welfare rights or CAB.  Useful to speak to.

    I am sure certain members of our community who know such things will be in touch. Or a member of our team.

    I hope you find that useful.
