For your ESA (IR) any income will potentially reduce your payments, there is usually a £20/week disregard for earned income but not usually for other income.
Asset and savings rule for ESA(IR) If the total deductions against your ESA(IR) exceed the amount of ESA(IR) being paid then it will stop and you will lose any right to the passported benefits such as free prescriptions and dental care.
If you have a working partner then the following applies as well
24 hour work rule for ESA(IR) Your ESA(CB) is only affected by pension income, there is an £85/week disregard followed by a £1/week deduction for every £2 in excess of the £85.
