Contribution ESA has no savings limits.

The limits on working are here:

Welcome to the community @aia1! As the information Kimmy linked shows you can do the following:

Permitted work means you can:

• work for less than 16 hours each week
• earn no more than £183.50 each week, after tax and National Insurance has been taken off
