Time spent in the support group will not count towards the 365 day limit.

This explains how pensions affect ESA.

(Amended to remove "income related" because link also explains contributions-based ESA.)

Hi G,

May I suggest that you read the "Employment and Support Allowance" section of our FAQ's from here :
FAQ’s

You will see that there are links there providing information on the 12 Months rule, and The Welfare Reform Bill, which should answer your questions.

With reference to pensions see information on our FAQ's also, here :

Will my pension be disregarded under ESA?

Please come back if this is not the case.
