    Is your ESA income based or contribution based (or new style ESA)? Any contribution based or new style ESA entitlement is unaffected. Any income based ESA entitlement will end.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.

    Typo there, I’m sure you meant “unaffected “ 
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Welcome to the community @310 :) Has the above comment helped? Please do let us know if you have any further questions, and what type of ESA you're on.

    Just to let you know, I've moved your post into our ESA category, and tweaked the title, so that other members will be able to identify your query more easily.
