Welcome to the community @krj991. I'm glad Poppy has been able to help with your query. Please keep in mind that it's the total of all of your savings and capital, including the inheritance you receive.

Do you need to do anything though as it will be below total 6,000 and ESA is ib

If your inheritance doesn't take your total savings to more than £6,000 you do not need to report it because savings of less than £6,000 are ignored.
