Hello, Last week I unexpectedly received form ESA3 although I have now read on this site what it’s about (very helpful, thankyou).
I get contributory ESA (transferred from SDA) and am in the support group. I do not think I qualify for IR ESA as my partner works.
However I have read the info on the 24hour work rule on this site and note that a “ partner will not be classed as being in remunerative work if he or she is ...regularly and substantially caring for someone who is in receipt of AA, or the highest or middle rate of the care component of DLA, or either rate of the daily living component of PIP” Can you please clarify what this means in terms of entitlement and whether this may apply in my case.
I am in receipt of enhanced PIP. I have a carer who helps me whilst my partner is at work (they get carers allowance for doing so) but my partner acts as my carer at all other times. We have no savings.
