Hi All,

After reading this thread i have one quick question.
If one is recieving contribution based ESA and has savings of over £16,000 does this effect the ESA payments??? Sorry, really confused.

Hi R,

There are no savings/capital rules and restrictions with Contributory ESA.

There are with Income Related (Income Based) ESA.

Suppose you were deemed sick enough to get ESA(CB) and entered the WRAG or even the SG.
Is the amount you get affected by any other income - e.g. child support payments or an occupational pension?

Can you please clarify what information you are seeking from the forum?
