Hi Gordon
I have a question again. Would you know or advise where I can get the answer to my question.
I have spoken to my works pensions department regarding my ill health retirement.
They are sending me out what my pension options are in writing.
They explained one option is I can take a lump sum and take a pension of roughly £100 a week. I know you explained that with regard to my Contribution based ESA support group I would have the deduction because of going over the £85 limit when I get my ill health retirement if it is over the £85. Would you know if I were to take a lump sum would that effect my contribution based ESA. I do not get any other benefits just the ESA.
I may take the lump sum to clear my mortgage and I would still have my pension of roughly £100 a week.
Once I get the information and decide I will let the DWP know. Just wondered if you knew if the lump sum would effect the CB ESA
Many Thanks Linnie

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems

Savings and assets do not effect ESA(CB) so there would be no problem with a lump sum being paid.
I would strongly recommend you get face to face advice from a trained advisor before making any decisions on your pension as this is not a matter that we can offer advice on in the forum.
