Adding a partner to an ESA claim
My client has moved in with her partner who is on ESA. She is not currently receiving ESA but thinks she will qualify. Any idea if the initial phone call to the DWP to add her to her partner’s ESA claim will take long? I need to book a home visit but am not sure how long it will take. Does the DWP effectively close the partner’s claim and just start a new joint claim for both of them?
