Will individuals in either Group be means tested come April 2012 - at present in receipt of IB and shortly going onto ESA in the WRAG as opposed to the Support Group.


Hi,

For the 1st year it will not be means tested. After that, for those in WRAG, it will become means tested. Hence those who have more income/capital that the means testing permits will no longer receive ESA payment.

Pete

Does the home/house you live in count as capital ??

Hi T,

No, and they can not force you to sell your main place of residence to gain capital.
