To show you are meeting adequate maintenance under fm-se 1.7a
You only need to provide a award letter for both the PIP and ESA
And one bank statement within the past 12 months showing payment going into account.
Combining your PIP and ESA and taking out any housing costs (rent and council tax) should have atleast £114.85 remaining per week.
It's a good idea to get a cover sheet drafted either do it yourself or by a advice worker/ solicitor which basically would state all the documents you are sending and then how each and every section is being fulfilled stating the law and rules ..
For example your receiving PIP which makes you exempt from the financial threshold and your receiving ESA adding both these amounts you receive £xx amount and you have no housing costs as living with parents (just an example)
Weekly remaining amount is £xx amount which satisfy the rules
Chapter 1.7a of the FM rules adequate maintenance etc
All benefits can be included to meet the threshold (April 15 amended rules)
A doctor's letter just to show what the conditions are is genuinely very helpful in most cases.
The rest of the documents are as normal for example accommodation, subsisting relationship etc if you need a list for those aswel just ask.
Hope the above helps and excuse my English today if there are any errors ... feeling abit feverish
