I reach 65  next April (receive ESA Support Group) but do not get my State Pension until November 2019.   Will my ESA stop at my birthday or continue to be paid until I can claim my State Pension?   Thank you for your help.

    Hello and welcome, I have been told that as I like you my ESA will stop when I reach pension age, but to be sure ring DWP to clearfy the matter.
