Hi phrank

You would be affected by the savings threshold as IR is means tested.

Hi Hiijinx

Do you receive an occupational pension?

Thanks, Gary. I thought so; so it would be a bank statement covering a full month, in my case?

Seems a bit unfair, I am still under the threshold but in a couple of months I may be over the 6K.

With staying put and not spending much for so long due to covid and now cutting down due to the uncertainty of my PIP review result, cutting back even more was a no brainer in my case.

Regards,

Phrank.

Hey Gary,

No, no pension - am many, many years away from retirement age.
I receive ESA Contribution in the support group and PIP - no other sources of income.

Hi phrank

You need to treat yourself every now and again to keep under the £6k limit.

Hi Hiijinx

I am stumped, :huh: the only thing I can suggest is to contact the DWP and ask why as you are in receipt of CB ESA.
