Hi Tony and Paul, I certanly would argue with DWP that it is not for the claimant to say which one of the two he can claim. When a claim is made DWP should consider it in the basis of evidence and the DM makes decision based on that. One thing I did not understand from your post is about ESA claim on IB, for the IB you will need proof of not able to work, to the best of my knowledge but please chalenge me if I am wrong.
Overall any case I am getting I am fighting it to the end and write soooo many e-mails, letters that often DWP or LA just gives up )))))
Regards, Antonina
