Could you please just advice me which benefit you think I would be better off applying for when my ESA CB stops next month. I have requested from my job centre the forms for the support group but haven't received them yet .
You mentioned the PIP which I didn't know anything about till I read your forum ,I took your test and wondered if that would be a better option in my position .Do I write and request a form to fill in for that please or can any be downloaded so I can make a start !
Many thanks for all your expert help

PIP and ESA are separate benefits, there is no reason why you cannot apply for both if you believe that you meet the criteria, although you might want to consider the logistics of having to manage both forms at the same time.
Have a look at the guides in the ESA section on how to make a new claim

and the PIP Claim guide
