    If you are getting a lump sum it does not affect the new style ESA.

    For UC, if you have a total of more than £6,000 of capital you must tell UC. The UC will be reduced by £4.35/month for each £250, or part thereof, over £6,000. If your capital is over £16,000 all entitlement to UC stops.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.
