Yet to fight benefits. I have done the research and I think I know what she should be entitled to (support group, contribution ESA). But getting the process sorted when you have never claimed before is going to be a nightmare .
It is a door closing and another opening. I feel for those who have to sort this sort of thing out on their own.
Good luck with that Tim. Might be worth talking to CAB about the benefits bit. My experience is DWP will try and short change you, and you'll have chase everything.

I got the 3months + leave bit too - bowel cancer. Thankfully all sorted but a tough 18 months.
