@maryob good afternoon and welcome to scope.
Is your ESA cont.based or income based or both?
PIP will not be affected only income based benefits if you have more than £6,000 in capital they are reduced, over £16,000 and income based benefits cease.
Other benefits like housing and council tax will also be affected by savings.2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡 -
I am on income based ESA so do you know by.how much, because I owe my sister £1000 for my mobility scooter and I have credit card debt of £ 4000 I want to pay off. Thanks for your reply

Any capital over £6000 reduces your income based ESA by £1 for every £250, or part thereof, over £6000.
Do you have an option to take a partial withdrawal of the tax free lump sum?Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK. -
Sorry I am only just answering I have just worked out how to see your reply. I have a friend visiting tonight who works for a bank who can look at all the paperwork, thanks so much for your help
