I'm currently living on ESA with my wife who receives PIP Enhanced. We live in a 3 bedroom bungalow council property, which was 2 bed before we built an extension with an extra bedroom and wet/shower room. We intended on living here but owing to my wife's disabilities we have to move to a more suited property for her needs. The extension cost £38,000 25 years ago and was fully approved by all necessary government departments. I have been told that when I hand the property back to the council I can be reimbursed for the extension, how much I'm not sure atm. My query is, if I receive more than £6,000 can I use the excess amount to adapt or extend my new home without my ESA been effected.
