People claim UC weather they are fit for work or not because it's replaced all the means tested benefits, except Council Tax Reduction. If she did get found fit for work and claimed UC then as i said she will never be able to go back onto ESA.
If at all possible then waiting for the MR decision could be a better choice because once the Tribunal have accepted the appeal then you can go back onto assessment rate for ESA.
Hopefully she won't be found fit for work and none of this will apply. If she then she should cross that bridge when it happens.
thank you very much for much appreciated advice lisa
No problem and it wasn't Lisa that gave you the advise, it was myself Denise. Confusion does set in when posting questions on other peoples thread. Glad i could help.
Thank you denise. trust me to post on a 2year old thread on my first posting. I will have a good look at all of the rules before jumping in with both feet again. Thanks again for the info. kind regards James.
You're welcome James. There's no rules to posting here, it just makes things a lot easier for those helping you to answer the questions if you start your own thread. It also helps others get less confused too. Take care James.

As stated on your other post, it will continue until a decision is made. Good luck.
