Hi STEVE51 Thanks for getting  back to me.Just wanted a bit of advice regarding esa.With having stage 4 copd  I have found it life changing.i  cant do anything without getting out of breath and I mean anything.I currently get pip enhanced for mobility but nothing for care. I got 7 points for care and you need 8 to get the care element.. Iam really struggling staying in work .

Hi,

SSP is payable for 28 weeks before claiming ESA.

You should also speak your employer about reasonable adjustments.
