Hi, my question is:
Hi, i wonder if someone can help me. I get old style esa (Not UC). i am in the support group Is my claim contribution based and is the support group money means tested? If so, what is the savings limit.
My entitlement letter says :Limited capability for work - £77. Then extra support group money £40.60. Then that gives you a total income-related amount of £117.60. Then it says : No income will be taken off your ESA.Your income related amount is £117.60. Then - However, because you are entitled to contribution based esa we will pay you £117.60. I can't really make sense of it. Can someone help?
Thanks in advance
Bailey
