You are referring to a means tested ESA. I'm leaving this thread now, like most threads on here they are turned in to egotistical arguments, the information I have supplied is accurate and correct, as I said keep it simple, don't try and elaborate, the facts are simple, as is life if people stop and think for a second or two before banging their gums via their keyboards.
Consider me gone Rosemary, a nice idea to try and help people it's another to end up with silly comments all the time when people want good and solid advice 👠Contribution-Based ESA Work Related Group payable for a maximum of 365 days. This benefit is exportable. After the 365 days have finished you can transfer to Income Related ESA which is based on your household income. But as has been said above IR ESA is not exportable. Contribution-Based ESA Support Group is exportable and is payable indefinitely so long as you meet the Support Group criteria. The medical reviews are carried out in your EU country of residence between 3 months and a maximum of 3 years. Keith 1963 has confused the matter enormously. But I would suggest anyone who is interested to read the gov.uk site (the link already given). Basically any contribution-based benefit is exportable, and so long as you meet the criteria, indefinitely. No I am not a lawyer but I have 10 years of experience of living in Spain and many dealings with the DWP. And yes they do know I live here. To try and belittle other peoples advice as "silly comments" as it contradicts your own view is immature. The point of a forum is for people to communicate their experiences without belittling other peoples point of view. |

My wife is in a support group but I'm not sure if it's contribution based or income related..she has been in the support group for about 2 and half years
If Contribution-Based ESA Support Group she will be able to export PIP (but not the mobility component), and Carers Allowance (if in receipt of PIP at middle or high component). Your best bet is to dig out all your wife's paperwork and go from there. But please remember any income-related benefits (such as housing benefit) will be lost if you move to another EU country. The telephone number for the Exportability Team at the DWP is given in an earlier thread and they will be able to advise you. |
