Hi, I have been awarded contribution esa, I get a small monthly pension which at first didn't effect my esa but now all of a sudden my esa has been significantly dropped n the only reason I got was that other money that I recieve has been taken into account, I've got no idea what they are on about, it can only mean that they mean my pension, I was lead to believe that my pension does not effect my esa, I get told one thing then the complete opposite happens, what can I do about it?

Any pension that's over £85 per week will affect your ESA 50p for every £1 over £85. So, for example if your pension is £100 per week then your ESA will be reduced by £7.50 per week. Any Income related top up for ESA that you may have been receiving will be affected £1 for £1 by your pension.
