Hi, my name is A1204661! I need expensive dental work. How do I save for it if I'm on ESA?

I wonder if you can help.
I need extensive dental work, which is quite expensive; more than £20K. How do I save for it if I am on ESA, which means I cannot have more than £16K in savings if I want to keep the benefit, and no more than £6K without deductions.

Welcome to the community @A1204661 Thank you for joining us! How are you doing? 

I can imagine this must be quite stressful.

We have a page on our website about eligibility for free NHS dental treatment, which you might find helpful to read.

What kind of ESA do you claim?

If you are on Income Related ESA dental care is generally free??
