o.k. The school did contact the DWP about the free school meals and it went through as IB ESA. Also when I applied for Child Tax Credits they checked that I was on it and said I was to me on the phone. I'll ring the DWP its just something I hate doing. As a very anxious person I keep thinking that if I contact them about anything I'm going to get a big brown envelope asking to reassess my benefits. But maybe that's just an anxious mind. Thanks for your help and with keeping this website going.
