Hi all,  I was diagnosed with Leukemia last Dec and that seems to be under control but to be told I now have Myeloma and got to have chemo.  I have recently been awarded PIP and have tried for the contributions based ESA but to be told that I'm a few months short of my ni contributions in order to get ESA. Does anyone know if I can just pay the shortfall which is only about £160 in order to get ESA?
