Hi,Does his wife work? If not then they should be claiming ESA as a couple and this will mean they will be claiming Income Related ESA not contributions based. If they're claiming as a couple then the money they receive should be correct.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

Wife doesnt work she is his carer now but that only changed in 2013 when he was changed from ib to esa she was ny mums carer

Type your commentincome support claimed as a couple

I think what im asking is does inc supp stop you qualifying for the back payments
-
I'm sorry but i still don't understand what exactly you're asking. As they are a couple then they should be claiming as a couple and this should have been done in 2013 when he moved from IB to ESA. There won't be anything owed if they're claiming as a couple because it will have been Income related from the start.

It's always extremely difficult to advise a 3rd party person because unless you know all their details it's impossible to advise.

I thought noone was assessed for inc rel at change over thats what the problem is for beck pay
-
Single claims weren't no but claiming as a couple is totally different. You can't claim Contributions based as a couple, it's always income related.
