    Hi

    Sorry I can't help. I didn't realise that you could claim ESA and DLA?
    It's all very confusing!

    I'm sure someone will be able to tell you. Glad you've got the DLA though!!!

    Hi John
    Congratulations the same rates as me.You should get £188 per 4 weeks paid into your bank account direct for the care element at middle rate and this will be backdated to April so you will get a big lump sum.Plus you will get an amount for mobility also backdated to April but I am not sure of the amount as I chose to get a car instead.Any questions about mobility and how to exchange your mobility rate for an insured,serviced-free car just ask but I wont confuse you for the moment.
    Njoy and relax(until your appeal for ESA which is a separate issue).

    I know nothing about ESA but you can claim DLA even if you're working. It's not income dependent either.
