Hi, my name is Rafiki!

Rafiki

I am on ESA the group one
My daughter may have to move back in with me, as her landlord will not renew tenancy. I get housing benefit which I know will change.

Hi @Rafiki and welcome to the Community.  It's nice to meet you.  I'm sorry to hear about your daughter's tenancy, but I'm sure she will enjoy being back home with you again.  Do you have a specific ESA query so we can try to understand your situation better and best advise you?

Please find below some Scope information about ESA which maybe of some help to you -

If we can help you with anything then please just let us know.  All the best.

Hi yes I want to know weather I will lose my ESA with my daughter moving back in with me.

Hi @Rafik and thank you for explaining a bit more.  I'm unsure about this one, but I'm going to tag in one of our Scope Team, @Adrian_Scope, who may know and be able to help you.  Also there may be other members who receive ESA who may know also and if they do they will post here.  Sorry I can't be of much help myself, but I'm sure someone will be able to help anyway.

Hi @Adrian_Scope, can you answer @Rafiki's question about ESA as above?  Thanks @Ails. 

Rafiki

Thank you Alis.

Hi @Rafiki and welcome to the community.
Can I first ask if you receive PIP and if so, are you aware whether you receive SDP within your ESA?

Rafiki

Good evening
I get ESA and extra because I am in the support group. I applied for PIP but did not get it.

Plus I get the disability income guarantee.

Hi @Rafiki. Having your daughter back home won't make any difference to your ESA as you're not receiving SDP. It's still important to make them aware of any changes though. As you mentioned, it will affect your housing benefit.
