If worst case scenario, one of us were to end up in hospital, what would happen about our ESA? I know its normally cut/stopped (?) after so many days but if one of you is still living at home how does this work? What happens about it if that makes sense? Sorry for all the questions

Your ESA will not stop if one of you is in hospital, even if it is the claimant but you may lose some of your additional payments, the following explains what will be cut and when.
