Hi love2016

Welcome to the forum and it is wonderful to make your acquaintance. It would depend on how much monies your husband was earning before you lost your ESA and SMI. There are minimum thresholds that the Government say you need to live on. I would ring your local JobCentre plus and make a few inquiries about the limits? As these benefits are means tested.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken

Ken has given good advice. On the GOV.UK site in the benefit section and also on the Turn2us site there are benefit calculators where you can just key in your particular circumstances and work out what you should get. Local CAB's are also good places to get a check. Good luck.x

Hello love2016,,,,you will need advice about your claims for these benefits,,,which you have made,,,,the esa is your benefit and is given for your conditions....The smi for your mortgage is different,,,,if your husband earns over a certain about and it is judged to be enough to support the mortgage,,then this could be effected,,if his name is on the mortgage,,,,your best best is the cab and they will help you all they can with advice and support,,,,take things steadily,,and take your time,,take care,,,ttfn from karen.
