Hi and welcome,PIP isn't means tested so savings/capital do not affect the amount you're entitled to.For the ESA then it will depend whether it's Income Related, if any part of it is then savings of less than £6,000 are disregarded. Savings of between £6,000 and £16,000 will reduce the amount of ESA you're entitled to by £1 per week for every £250 (or part there of) over than amount.Savings/capital of £16,000 and over will mean you're not entitled to any means tested benefits at all, this includes housing benefit. Council tax reduction will depend on your local councils rules and all councils have their own criteria.Just to be clear this includes all of your money in every bank account, at home etc etc. Not just a savings account.2
