    Please make an appointment to see the McMillan Benefits Advisor via your local hospital.  As far as I am aware, there are two components to ESA, one of which is linked to NHI contributions and one to your last employment - I dont know if you are claiming both?  You should be entitled to PIP and your wife to Carer's allowance.  McMillan's help is invaluable in this respect. Good luck x
