Many thanks

Hi Pam,

If you are on contributory ESA there is no limit to the savings you can hold.

If you are on income-related ESA, your maximum savings/assets is £16,000 although payment would be reduced, pro rata, before this. IR ESA is also dependent on income of, and hours worked by, any partner who lives with you.

Asset rule for ESA(IR)
