I have received a letter regarding mine and my husbands savings, what do I loose in the way of ESA if we have over £16000, I have never been asked these questions before -

Hi,If you claim Income Related ESA then savings and capital over £6,000 you lose £1 for every £250 over. Savings/capital over £16,000 means you're not entitled to any means tested benefits like ESA, Housing benefit and council tax reduction.Contribution based ESA doesn't affect savings/capital. Do you have a joint ESA claim or is it just your claim?

Just my own and have not claimed ESA, I presume it has just been changed automatically from what ever it was before, I have been registered disabled for over 15 years

I don't claim housing benefit or council tax as I am not eligble
