I’ve been esa support group for good few years now abd and was fortunate enough to have a big agency payment which we have been living off but now nothing left

Have no income apart from ESA and DLA
cannot pay bills for the coming months or get food etc. Have enough for few weeks. How do I get the income element without having to claim whole thing again - if possible.
Thanks

Income Related ESA is dependant on your household income, your savings and assets, and any hours that your partner works. See

Asset and savings rule for ESA(IR)

24 hour work rule for ESA(IR)

You need to contact the DWP office dealing with your ESA claim and request an ESA3 be sent, this will allow you to detail your finances and for the DWP to assess whether you are eligible for ESA(IR).
