    Hi,

    You continue to receive your money as normal.

    Unfortunately, because you have a limited capability for work then there's no other benefits you can claim instead of ESA. Universal credit is the same process.
    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.
