Hi @jlo welcome to the community.
Thank you for sharing this with us. Did the council mention why they have taken her care component, please?

Hi,When a local council assess you for care/personal budget they do take into consideration PIP daily living but not mobility. Not sure about ESA. See link that confirms the PIP. https://www.disabilityrightsuk.org/how-we-can-help/independent-living/frequently-asked-questions-independent-living
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. -
