Hi all. I had to leave my job due to my sight I'm registered partially sighted. I was told I'm not entitled to ESA due to lack of stamps but to reapply in jan. However  I had my assessment 2 weeks ago. I currently receive low rate disability I had my pip assessment 4 weeks ago. I'm really struggling with money as my husband works I xant claim universal. Just wondered if any one else in similar situation.  Thank you

    I would also speaking to CAB to see if they offer you a benefit review might be worth something to consider they have knowledge, expertise on benefit situations can be helpful.

    Please if we can help further please get in touch.

    Please take care.
