Have you had your ESA reduced or taken
away as a result of moving in with a partner?
BBC Stories are looking to make a short film about young couples and Employment and Support Allowance. If you and your partner are between the ages of 18 and 30 and have had your ESA reduced or removed entirely after moving in with a partner, Alice Turner would like to hear from you.
If you're interested in contributing to this project, you can get in touch with Alice Turner at alice.turner01@bbc.co.uk

i am to old to take part in this but the reason I cant move in with my partner or get married is that i would lose my ESA, it just seems so unfair and in a way penalises me for something i have no control over, also as we both rent etc it would free up a property for someone else
