Hi Sally,
Do you claim DLA/PIP? You could be entitled to this if you have long-term care and/or mobility problems. Have a look at our PIP guide if you do not currently claim and are not sure if you might qualify.
The other thing you can do is to put your figures into one of the benefit checkers to see if there is anything you might be able to claim.
Your ESA claim will remain live and NI credits will be given - but you will not be paid anything until your savings drop below the threshold or you are allocated to the Support Group at a future assessment
