Hi all, I'm hoping for some advice and info.
My husband is in the support group ESA and I'm currently his main carer but for my own sanity I need to get back to work. We are currently receiving Income Related ESA, will my husband still get ESA if we aren't eligible for the means tested benefit? I know there is no time limit for contribution based ESA if you're in the support group so will he still get that? I'm very confused. Thanks in advance x
