    Hi,

    Industrial injuries benefit doesn't affect contributions based benefits but it's counted as income £1 for £1 when claiming Income related tops ups on your ESA. It's difficult to advise without knowing all your circumstances. I'd advise a visit to your local advice centre for a full benefits check.
