Can anyone tell me what is the financial threshold for Income based ESA payments? My reason for asking is this, my 71 year old partner is recieving an enhanced state pension and has a draw down pension, (made up of a portfolio of approx £100,000 in shares and unit trusts). He draws down approx £5000 p.a. which comprises interest on the capital. I, aged 62 and therefore without my pension until 2022, am in receipt of ESA (cont-based) in the Support Group and PIP with enhanced daily living, no mobility ( lost in transition from DLA to PIP).
The question I am asking, id would I be able to qualify for Income related ESA? I am currently £77.00 per week worse off by moving in with my partner, as I lost my Severe Disability Premium and Disability insurance. Many thanks
