Do advisers generally advise IB claimants making a DLA claim to also put in a IS claim at the sametime incase they are awarded mid/high rate care and become entitled to the Severe Disability Premium? or do you wait until DLA has been awarded?
Are you having any difficulties making IS claims under these circumstances as most claimants will be turned down and then have to reapply if they are awarded DLA mid/high care?. Do the phone claim advisers refuse to make the claim, etc
Under ESA, would those on Contribution based ESA have to apply for Income Based to get the SDP after a DLA award and would they have the same problem as those currently on IB eg have to put in a claim when you first apply for DLA, get turned down and then put in another when awarded the benefit.
