IB/ESA and Prisoners Tue 02-Mar-10 10:25 AM
I do not have very much experience with people leaving prison so forgive me if this is a really stupidly obvious question!
I can see from the CPAG handbook that IB or ESA are not payable when someone is serving a custodial sentence but does this mean they invariably have to re-apply on release or can the existing claim simply be re-activated?
