Hi, my name is Tinks1! Could you keep your contribution based ESA if you inherited £100,000?
If sm1 receives an inheritance of around £100,000.00 is it correct that they can still keep their Contribution ESA. My friend says he can still keep it. But I'm saying no due to the amount he would receive. [Amount corrected by moderator]

I had ESA assement about 6 weeks ago and haven’t heard anything back. my payment went in as normal last week. Today I received a payment from the dwp out of the blue for £40 odd quid and can’t quite figure out why. If you’ve failed do you normally get a random payment or do they just stop it ? Will try to give them a call,…

I received my PIP payment this morning - £420.60 In a letter from the DWP, it quite clearly states that I will get £108.55 a week from the 8th April.. I get my PIP monthly, so that is £434.00. I have only received £420.60 this month, why is this?

Carers Allowance not been paid?!
So I applied for New Style ESA a few weeks back. Rang the helpline and was told I’d be paid £8 every two weeks…. I spoke to an advisor who told me because I get CA my ESA would be reduced by that much. I cancelled my ESA claim because of this. It seemed pointless. Got a letter saying they can’t pay ESA now… thought it was…

ESA Claim After LCWRA on UC
Hi, My LCWRA was from 17 Aug 23 so in payment on UC from Jan 2024. I claimed ESA from 2/2/24. They have mirrored the decision so put me in Support Group on ESA but will not give me the extra money from ESA until after 93 days on the claim. Is this right, as a Benefit Adviser told me that there is no waiting for 93 days on…
