Cost of living payment question?
Hi hope everyone is well. I know the COL payments start from Tomorrow until the 17th and I know I qualify. My question is will I still get it if my ESA payments have been made clerical and taken off system due to other reasons? Or does that have nothing to do with cost of living payment?

What is the process once I get to 6k in savings??
Currently in receipt of ESA(IB) & PIP. What is the process once I get to 6k? Do I have to contact DWP every month and send them a statement? Do they work out what income is from PIP and what income is from ESA? I believe the PIP would not come in to the equation as it's non means tested? It is my quite recent award of PIP…

ESA statistics ( including reviews)
I just stumbled upon this and thought it may be of interest. I know it has been said that no support group reviews are happening. This shows they are but in a very small number about 2% of pre covid.

Do "savings" include your DWP payment for that period?
In theory we're allowed to have £5500 in savings before we have to start declaring it, right? And £6K before our benefits start getting cut. Does this include your next payment from the DWP? If I am expecting my monthly £500 payment then does this mean I need to make sure my savings actually stay below £5K, because once my…

They may not do it tomorrow so technically I could be a few days with nothing on…
