Hello @papilon1958 Pleased to meet you welcome.

Thank you for joining and your question.

I am unsure of an answer. I know there will be members of our community or a member of our team. Be in touch to advise.

Have you spoken to CAB . They can advise on benefit enquiries. Something to consider.

We are a friendly, supportive community.

Please take care.

No, you can't claim ESA and Income Support at the same time. Also most areas are now a full universal credit area so if you decided to stop your Income Support then you'll need to claim UC.
