My Contributions Based ESA finishes in September

Hello

My 365 day NI contributions based ESA work-related finishes in September.

In the meantime, I have had to sell my house and so have capital which takes me over the £16K savings limit. However, when I buy another house, I will be back to zero savings and income only from my PIP award until 2018.

Will I then be able to apply again for ESA income based?

I won my ESA tribunal which recommends I am not reassessed until 2018.

My health situation remains the same.

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Thank you.

It should be possible to have the proceeds from your house disregarded for at least 26 weeks and longer if you have problems finding a new one, this should allow you to claim Income Related ESA if you meet the other criteria. You will need to provide documentation of the sale.
