Income related esa and pension credit was created by pat_burton80@hotmail.com
Hi please could you give me some advice. In 2019 I received a large payment from the leap benefit on esa and was sent a letter saying that as it was over £5000 that for the duration of my claim I do not need to declare this as capital and from then on I have received sdp and esa income based. my question is in 2023 I will get my state pension and will be entitled to pension credit, I have read on the dwp assets publishing web page that if the claimant was getting esa immediately before getting pension credit and it was ignored in that benefit it should be ignored for the duration of pension credit. is this right or am I misreading this. Thank you for your time.

Hi samphire
My understanding is that you are correct but I would contact PC helpline: 0800 731 0469 to get confirmation. If they do confirm it, ask for it in writing.

Hi ccc
It is to do with PIP, but if you get an award and you are on IR ESA then you may be eligible to disability premiums which would be backdated to when your award was made., it all depends on your circumstances.

Hi Samphire. If you could let us know when this has been confirmed by DWP that would be great. Thanks (hopefully you will be ok).
