Does anyone know if you are entitled to have contributory ESA  if you have a NHS pension

    It depends how much your NHS pension is. I believe the first £85 of pension is ok. After that you lose I think 50p of ESA for every additional amount of pension. You need to let ESA know if you are about to receive a pension & how much it is. I wish you luck with that one. It took me two months to get ESA to believe I was getting a pension.
