    Hi @Tina66, here's the link to be able to apply for a needs assessment. :)
    Thanks @Chloe_Scope! I completely forgot to post the link once my internet was connected and couldn't add the link while only having access with my phone.
    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.

    Do I have to declare this backpayment to the ema people? I've just realised our son's ema renewed automatically this year and I didn't think about the backpayment. They ask you to declare all income and ours hasn't changed. 
    Is the esa payment classed as income? i'm worrying all over again now!

    No because it's not counted as savings for anything at all.

    It says on the ema form to report income from savings interest so I guess any interest the lump sum generates will have to be declared?

    The interest on that will be extremely low. What they mean by interest on savings is more like 100's of pounds interest.
