ESA claim

So I did so, but I am not sure they will be accepted because Santander for example titles the document as transactions although it looks like a statement, but the account holders name does not show either. I doubt its validity, what do you think? Do you know if this sort of online print off 'statement' counts?

Let's wait and see

No that's not how it works.

If you are entitled to ESA(CB) then they will calculate how much less any deductions for pensions that you are receiving.

They will then calculate your applicable amount for ESA(IR), this is the amount of ESA(IR) you are entitled to based on where you are in the process, whether you qualify for any Premiums and then minus any deductions based on your income and savings and assets.

If you are entitled to ESA(CB) then this will be paid first, if the applicable amount for ESA(IR) is less than the ESA(CB) the ESA(CB) amount will be paid in full.

If the ESA(IR) applicable amount is more than the ESA(CB) then the difference will be paid as ESA(IR) in addition to the ESA(CB)

You will never receive less than the higher of the two.

Completely the opposite!!!!!
