my partner has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, we recently applied for DLA. we got lower rate mobility.......but there should be a care component added, i will ask for a re-assement soon!
my question is we are currently claiming jobseekers allowance, i know that with ESA there is a DLA premium paid on top.
and was wandering if it was the same for JSA? and how much?
although i feel we should be receiving income support because my wife is so bad that she cannot cope through the day without me especially with 3 kids one 7 and 3 and 2. everything is hardwork for her and i am unable to work! but still i look for work and attend all my job centre appointments.
also looking into esa i know i cannot claim but can my wife and i go on her claim? i have heard that it is a very difficult benefit to get!
any information would be greatfuly appreciated and thanks in advance
