Benefits (ESA, PIP & Mortgage Interest)
Hi folks.
I'm looking for some advice please as I'm considering moving from the UK to Spain.
I've suffered health issues for the past 6 years or so, which have meant being on benefits. I currently receive ESA, PIP and get the interest element of my mortgage paid by DWP.
Can anyone tell me what my entitlements would be if I were to move?
Any help and advice would be most appreciated as I do not want to rely on DWP as they NEVER tell you what your full entitlements are or what help you can access.
Kind regards
Lorraine

Unfortunately, I suspect you will get very little.
To my knowledge you loose PIP and mortgage help and most of ESA.

You can apparently transfer PIP living component (but not the mobility component).
Also you can transfer ESA so long as its contributions based.
I still can't find anything about the housing element though.
