Does anyone know if my partner and I can claim Income Support after being turned down for Employment Support Allowance? Me and my partner made a claim in April, waited for a medical assessment and now been informed I didn't score enough points. We both have doctors medical certificates that we are not fit for work due to my anxiety/panic attacks and my partner is a recovering alcoholic so is Income Support available or do we need to claim Jobseekers Allowance?
We have been living off my sons child benefits of £83 per week for over two months now and bills are really piling up after only being able to pay essential living expenses. Also, if we appeal the decision, would we still get any payments either ESA or Income Support?
