hi I am back in the position of having to claim sickness benefits after a period of wellness.I live in the Dumfries area of Scotland an have been told that I can no longer claim ESA contribution based benefit but HAVE to claim Universal Credit.As you know ESA payments are based on individual circumstance where as UC would take into consideration my husbands circumstances.He is ill but has been denied esa after a recent assessment failed and my earnings have been our only income which I have never minded but it has resulted in increased stress and depression.He genuinely has a really bad back and is reluctant to claim job seekers as he fears they will make him do a job which aggravates the arthritis in his back.If any one can help us.I would be really grateful thanks x
