Hi, my name is janiedoll!

I am currently receiving PIP and Employment and Support Allowance. I am still employed but have been on long term sickness. If my employer offered me a package to retire early, would I still be eligible for ESA?

A very very big welcome to you this mourning.
I had to take early retirment about 4yrs ago due to ill health.
I have been on esa for a few yrs now.
My wife works full time as well & we have a young family.
Please please let me know if you would like further info/advice/support ?????
Thanks.
Is there a possibility that you may be able to return to work ?
Which ESA group are you in ?
Is your employer still paying you SP ?
Simply put If nothing changes with your health condition then you will continue to be eligible for ESA under the terms that you first claimed it

steve51, did you have a pension scheme at your work and did your early retirement have an impact on that?
CockneyRebel, my condition is degenerative so I won't be returning to work. I am on the income related group I think and yes, I still have an income from my employer.
