Can someone be in ESA Support group and still claim underlying entitlement to Carer’s allowance?
Advice please:
Husband is on New Style ESA Support component following appeal attempt that the DWP changed prior to hearing; Wife had already been claiming IRESA for them as a couple, also in Support Group.
Both entitled to SDPs in IRESA.
IRESA includes amount as a couple, 2 x SDP, EDP, and 1 x £40.60 Support component payment which needs to be corrected as since reinstating the husband’s New Style, they have not linked his claim to hers and are not deducting his ESA from the IRESA either.
Here’s the question:
If he claims underlying entitlement for CA to have carer’s premium in IRESA, will it affect them negatively?
