Hi can I get some advice about benefits please? I currently claim legacy cbESA and do not get SDP. I'm in SG and understand I should get this premium. I need to know if, I should wait for this to be added and then, Claim irESA or should I claim UC? I need help with rent, c/tax, prescriptions and dental treatment. Thanks for your help and advice on trying to untangle my problem.
At the moment I would expect someone who is eligible for the SD Premium to be better off on legacy ESA than UC but you should put your information into one of the online benefit calculators to see
You will need to be in receipt of ESA(IR) to be eligible for help with your prescriptions and dental care, you will need to be in receipt of the Premium to be able to claim Housing Benefit.
