  Hi,

  
  

  What is the reason why you're claiming Income support. Do you claim Carers allowance for looking after someone or do you have a dependent child under the age of 5?

  Unfortunately because all areas are now a full UC are then you won't be able to claim Income related ESA, it will have to be UC. My advice is to stay on Income.
