Cancelling UC claim, will ESA stop

cpnan

I hope this is in the right place!

I will be receiving inheritance in the new year which will be more than 16k so I will be closing my UC claim.

I am in receipt of contribution based ESA which I know isn’t means tested but I’m wondering if it will also stop when I come off UC?

Many thanks for any information 🥰
