Hi, just a quick question about ESA and telling the DWP about income. I am currently receiving ESA as part of the contribution based support group. They have never asked about savings etc and I dont receive any other benefits. I might be coming into an inheritance shortly and was wondering if I would need to tell them.
In case you are not aware, your real name appears to be showing in the forum, if you want to change this then follow the instructions in the following FAQ
My full name is showing, how can I stop it? If you are only receiving Contribution Based ESA then your ESA is not effected by your savings and assets and you do not need to contact the DWP.
