Will my pension be disregarded under ESA?
This disregard will continue as long as your claim is unbroken and you remain in receipt of payments. We are unsure of the situation if a claimant exhausts the 365 day WRAG limit but then is put into the Support Group at a later stage.

question, with esa being a new/different ruled benefit, what effect on people who get placed on wrag, and 365 days later, end up with no benefit.
do these pension schemes make up the loss by increasing payments under their guaranteed minimum income level, or refuse.
ie the support criteria looks a lot more difficult to qualify ??

You would need to check the terms and conditions of the pension, as the contract is between you or your employer and the pension supplier, whilst the pension may be dependant on the benefits you receive, the reverse cannot be said.
