HI, hope you can answer this question. Does ESA stop once you start to get your State pension.

Many thanks

Hi bubs,
Absolutely yes! You can't get ESA past state pension age. If this is something that might apply to you, you will need to contact the Pension Service to make sure you claim your pension in good time and it is all set up. If you have a while to go, you should ask fir a forecast to see how much money you will be paid. ESA will stop automatically at pension age.
If you have limited income/savings you may be eligible for pension credits. If you have your pension forecast, you could ask an advice centre such as CAB to do a full benefits check. (You will need to provide them with full details of all income and savings for you and your partner if you have one.)
I hope this helps.
