Would resigning and receiving holiday pay affect my ESA entitlement?

Hello, I have just joined and would appreciate advice on the following matter. I have recently had a hip replacement op due to cancer in the bone and have primary cancer somewhere betwean my throat and anus. I have been unable to work since 03/03/18 and have been recieving SSP. Now I have to start claiming ESA. I am 62 yrs old and am unlikely to return to work before I retire.My question is should I resign and recieve my holiday pay and would that affect my ESA payment/entitlement ?

Welcome to Scope's online community! It's great to have you here.
I've moved this post into our dedicated ESA category so other members of our community can offer some advice and support.
If you have any other questions, then please do get in touch!
I wonder if @Gill_Scope can help with this?
If you’re receiving UC then any holiday pay you receive will affect the amount of UC you receive that month.
