Hi
Welcome to the Scope community. You will keep your ESA up to, as you say when you earn more than £120 a week. After that I think it doesn't just stop, it goes down gradually depending on the amount you work

Thanks I may have to do fulltime training for free in order to prevent esa stopping

Have you agreed with DWP that you can do this as permitted work ?
You should ask DWP about your training time

I rang dwp they said they will b stopping esa because training for a month is 16 hrs over per week. They will call me back to explain the process permitted work will b in may 2018.

Hopefully they will not close your claim but keep it as an underlying benefit while you are training and exeeding the hours and income
