TOKEN4GOOD,
If you get contributory ESA only then you don't need to worry at all. If you get income-related ESA, then I don't think you need to declare this either - it sounds like these are voluntary payments made on a regular basis, & these types of payment are ignored.
It's also arguable that this isn't income at all, as you pay them back, so you don't have the extra money for any significant length of time.
