I recently moved in with my fiancé and ESA have totally stopped my payments as they say he can support me. I get Pip and a small pension as I was medically retired. We are now struggling financially. Is there a non means tested benefit I can claim for?

Hi @Julesw14
It’s great to meet you this evening.
We have got a “Benefit Calculator” here on our site.
You can enter your details & it will let you know what benefits are available for you.
Please please let me know if I can help you with this. -

Hi Julesw and welcome
Was your ESA income related ?
Or was it contribution based with an IR top up ?
