Hello ,
I hope your all having a good day ! 
I have gained interest on my savings due to inflation will this affect my csa and pip !   I know I will have to do a tax return stating so and pay tax on the interest received but does it affect the csa benefit ? Anyone know about this ? 

Thanks for help in advance

It will not affect your ESA or PIP because both are not means tested.

I'm afraid i can't advise about any Tax returns. As i advised, you will not need to inform DWP about any interest in savings.
