suppose a person was on ESA support group. income based, with disability premium. I guess £105+£7 I guess that'd be £112 a week? though i've heard it's £227/£228 a fortnight so £113 a week.
now a theoretical..
suppose then a parent died and left them £15,900
They'd get a huge drop in ESA income right?
like £40 a week less?
that's part 1 of the question.
now part 2 of it is
If they then had another £200, and so had £16,100 they could then apply to contribution based, then would their ESA go back up to £113 a week? is that right?
and part3 is..
Why if somebody has over £16K savings, do they switch to contribution based and pay the full ESA amount.
Whereas with £6-£16K savings they pay less?
i.e. What is their thinking behind it..
the/their rationale?
