can anybody tell me can you claim E S A if you get a works pension thank you

thank you Rose B i wonder does any body else on the forum know

Hello Posie,

ESA is based on your NI contributions, regardless of whether you have a work pension or savings, as you are still under 60 and below the age when you can apply for a state pension? I was ill health retired a couple of months ago with a pension, and still get ESA. I also got it when I was officially still employed. I double checked with the DWP and was told that I could continue on ESA.

Hope this helps,

love and well wishes,

Barbara
