No. When you are ESA you can do some work but it is limited. Seealison_68 said:Even if I’m still working ( I’m not at the moment I’m off sick again ) can u claim esa if your in full time work then ?

poppy123456 said:To be entitled to New style ESA then you need to have paid the correct amount of NI contributions in tax years April 2019 to March 2020. If you've had a year off from working then this may affect entitlement.Before taking any pension then please be aware of this advice earlier.
Oh so does that mean that if my Pension is lower than £85 Poppy I can claim that as well as PIP and ESA ?poppy123456 said:janer1967 said:Just to add taking a pension will only affect any means tested benefits
Just to add, for New style ESA although it's not means tested. Any pension of up to £85 per week is ignored. For every £1 over this amount the New style ESA is reduced by 50p.I don’t want to sound like I’m being greedy with money but I’m so worried about paying the bills, especially when we will only have one wage coming in.It’s been such a big decision to make admitting I can’t do my job anymore but I’m getting so stressed now about how we’re going to manage money wise.Thank u so much for all your help and information Poppy I really do appreciate it, I have no idea about any of this stuff.

I’m not sure what pay I’m going to get this month as I had a full year off, done my return to work, then had annual leave and haven’t been back, so I don’t know if I’m even going to get any sick pay ! I have Doctors on the 29th April I will speak to him then and I should also have heard back from Pensions as well so I should be in a better position to know a bit more ( hopefully ) xjaner1967 said:If your ssp has ended and you have the required ni contributions you can apply for new style esa now
You will need ssp1 form from your employer and a fit note from your gp0 -
People can claim ESA even if their pension is over £85 but, as advised by poppy, the ESA will be reduced by 50% of the pension amount in excess of £85/week.alison_68 said: Oh so does that mean that if my Pension is lower than £85 Poppy I can claim that as well as PIP and ESA ?
However you said
That may mean you cannot claim ESA because, as advised by poppy you need a complete NI record for the tax years 2019-20 and 2020-21 in order to be eligible to receive ESA.alison_68 said:...as I had a full year off, done my return to work, then had annual leave and haven’t been back, ..

Hi @Neeta and welcome
Unfortunately it would be impossible for us to know if you would qualify we don't know how your condition affects your ability to work or the criteria set by your pension provider
However generally ill.health retirement is hard to qualify for as you need to evidence you are unable to work in any capacity for the rest of your working age
Not impossible though0 -
Hi all, I’m a new member I’ve been trying to read most of the threads on here. I work for NHS for 20 years and just been discharged from work due to fibromyalgia. I’m really struggling to come to terms with this condition because most days I am bedbound I also suffer with post-traumatic stress. I’ve just put in for my pension my NHS pension am I anxiety is going through the roof. My occupational health doctor has put in his reports most days. I’m bedbound that I suffer with migraines as well where I collapse a couple of times a month. I have blackouts I have angina attacks but I don’t know if it’s the way I’m reading it because of the way my concentration and brain is now he’s also poor I suffer with post-traumatic stress through work related incidents how was Paul is at work he’s put I think the symptoms will get better even though I’ve told you I’ve been through CBT therapy loads of counselling I’ve had medication he’s put in the future they will get better so I’m worried at the Pensions a look at this and will think I will maybe a fibromyalgia symptoms. I’ll get better then I’ve been on pay management courses to no avail unfortunately I just feel my whole life is a mess at the minute I don’t go like going outside I don’t think I’m gonna have my life I want to. I was pain-free and had a good memory and concentration and my anxiety is through the roof now with this NHS pension because I’ve still got a mortgage and things like that to pay for is appreciate any advice from use. Thanks0

You can draw your nhs pension from the age of 55.Neeta said:Hello, I am desperate for advice, I am 62 have a lot of chronic health issues and have come to the decision that I can’t carry on working, I have 15 years on a band 5 withNHS, both Occy heath and my manager agree, but don’t know if I would be eligible for early retirement on I’ll heath grounds.
It is notoriously difficult to get in on early ill health retirement.
It took me over 3 years to get mine during which time they turned me down twice.0 -
