Hi, my name is A1204661! I need expensive dental work. How do I save for it if I'm on ESA?

I wonder if you can help.
I need extensive dental work, which is quite expensive; more than £20K. How do I save for it if I am on ESA, which means I cannot have more than £16K in savings if I want to keep the benefit, and no more than £6K without deductions.

Thank you for joining us! How are you doing?
I can imagine this must be quite stressful.
We have a page on our website about eligibility for free NHS dental treatment, which you might find helpful to read.
What kind of ESA do you claim?
