Hi @lell4
I'm sorry that no one's been able to answer your question yet. I'm sure another member with some personal experience of this will see your post soon!
I had a look on the Citizens Advice website, and it says the following:Report a change of circumstances
You need to report changes to your circumstances so you keep getting the right amount of Employment and Support Allowance (ESA).
Your claim might be stopped or reduced if you do not report a change straight away.
A change of circumstance can include:- starting or stopping work, education, training or an apprenticeship
- moving house
- changing your name
- people moving into or out of the place you live (for example your partner or a child)
- changes to the benefits you or anyone else in your house gets
- changes to your pension, savings, investments or property
- changes to other money you get (for example student loans or grants, sick pay or money you get from a charity)
- changing your doctor
- any changes to your medical condition or disability
- going into hospital or a care home or sheltered accommodation
- going abroad for any length of time
- changes to your immigration status, if you’re not a British citizen

Hello @lell4. How is the house sale going?
Are you receiving any other benefits and do you know whether your ESA is income-related or has an income-related top up at all?Community Manager
