Hi, I have been awarded contribution esa, I get a small monthly pension which at first didn't effect my esa but now all of a sudden my esa has been significantly dropped n the only reason I got was that other money that I recieve has been taken into account, I've got no idea what they are on about, it can only mean that they mean my pension, I was lead to believe that my pension does not effect my esa, I get told one thing then the complete opposite happens, what can I do about it?

Any pension that's over £85 per week will affect your ESA 50p for every £1 over £85. So, for example if your pension is £100 per week then your ESA will be reduced by £7.50 per week. Any Income related top up for ESA that you may have been receiving will be affected £1 for £1 by your pension.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
Bloody nonsense isnti it. Work like a slave to get pension then when you do take it usually early due to ill health, they want it back!!!!! Not like the scroungers who've never paid in so don't affect them they'll get full pension whatever!!!! Just a little rant ?
