ESA Support Group

Hi all. First time I've posted so thanks for reading.
My wife is in receipt of ESA Support Group and has a very small pension that she wants to exercise and withdraw the whole lump sum, around 13k.
Her concern is that this may detrimentally affect her ESA payment.
If she withdraws this lump sum she won't be in receipt of a pension as well.
Thanks

Thank you for the advice, I'm grateful.

Yes phone them up and find out. You should have had a letter from dwp recently about increases to esa so it may be on that letter. Assuming you are on income related, think very carefully about how if you did get a lump sum you would spend it and how quickly because you could be found to be deliberately reducing your savings to get back on esa, and not get it back when you have depleted your savings and need it.
