IB-ESA Credits only claim change of circs =UC
i have a client who was on ESA in WRAG on credits only claim as her savings were over £16K. Her PIP has stopped so she has had to live off her savings, which have now gone under £16K. She reported this change of circs to ESA who have said that as she has credits only claim is not a live claim and she will now have to claim UC. A DM has looked at rules and confirmed this to me but i just wanted to double check this is right?
Sounds like it’s probably right. The following thread might be helpful:- https://www.rightsnet.org.uk/forums/viewthread/13484/
Basically, a “credits only” award is not really an ESA award - it is an NI award based on LCW.
