Hi @gwennie_15, and welcome to the community!
I hope we can help you with this. Have you tried the online benefits calculator? You put in your circumstances and it tells you what you may be entitled to, so it can be a good place to start.
You might also want to read our advice on appealing a DWP decision ahead of your ESA appeal. Best of luck with this, and do keep us updated! -
