Bank statements

han233

Eesa have asked me for bank statements and savings account statements which I don't mind sending in it's just been a stressful couple of weeks getting all my statements together but finally getting there.i was given backdated money from DWP in 2018 and they're just checking that the money I had in savings account is left over from the backdated money which it is.hopefully it's sorted out by next week, the guy who has been dealing with this has been really nice and understanding which is good 😊

I'm glad it's been a mostly positive experience for you @han233, thanks for keeping us updated.  
Getting statements together is never fun at the best of times!

That will depend on which ESA you're claiming. Only Income Related is means tested. The old contributions based and New style are not means tested.

Yes 6k and below you don’t have to tell them anything but and over 6k you need to tell them and if it’s over 16k then entitlement to benefits will stop.
did you have much over 6k ? 

Not all benefits are means tested. Disability benefits such as PIP/DLA/AA and ADP are not. Same for contributions based/New style and those that are still claiming Tax credits.
