Good morning and Happy Easter
My Husband is claiming Cont ESA migrated from IB for 12 years following a serious accident at work. I work 23.75 hours per week earning £164.76 gross per week. Unfortunately we are under threat of redundancy and have lost 3 staff in the past couple of weeks, so no chance of more work.
I work 10 miles from home and need a car to get to work as public transport stops at 5.25pm. My car is 13 years old and has given up the ghost, I can get the bus to work but not home again - the cost of the bus fares and a taxi home is £74 per week!!! :eek: I have even been to speak to my MP who is at a loss what to suggest regarding transport in the area and the time limiting of ESA Cont!
Anyway my question is in June my husbands ESA stops (WRAG), will we be entitled to anything at all? We have one child age 10 and no childcare costs. I have tried entitled to but our scenario does not fit the questions. To be perfectly honest I feel like just giving up on my job after 27 years! Would we be better off, re mortgage costs etc. I have read the Impact assessment from the Government who have already highlighted the fact that people in this situation would be better off not working! I cannot believe I am asking the question but unfortunately until I can get a job in a place I can get to, I have to deal with reality.
Thankyou
