Esa uc

I currently recieve uc, not fit for work group, and I recieve transitional payments from my legacy disability premiums.

I am due to inherit in 6 weeks so my savings will be over £16000 which I will declare and I will loose uc, is it correct I can then claim new style esa that is not means tested, and do my Transitional disabilities continue with esa if I have researched correctly I can still claim new esa now, so when uc stops it's in place thank u

I would recommend speaking to a trained benefits advisor as this is a complex area to advise on.

OK thank you, but what I researched is new style esa can be claimed with uc but that income will be deducted, new esa is not means tested on savings as long as a person is unfit for work and have 2 full years of national insurance contributions

For NS ESA those 2 years usually have to be recent NI conts earned/paid through working.

I say usually because there can sometimes be other ways to claim, which is why I'd recommend contacting a local welfare rights organisation to speak to someone who is trained.

OK thank u which I have from being a carer which I believe is included , but ns esa is not means tested so savings is irelevent, am just can't find out if my tranisonal disability premium will be carried on

If you were able to successfully claim NS ESA, then no your Transitional Protection wouldn't carry on. TP is paid with Universal Credit only.

ESA is paid as credits (no money) or at a flat rate. No additional premiums are paid.
