No this will not affect your ESA, only pensions over £85 per week reduce the amount of ESA paid.0 -
ESA(C) is reduced by pensions over £85 with half of everything over that being taken in.
ESA(IR) is reduced penny for penny so a pension of £25 would reduce ESA(IR) by £25.
I assume that you will be receiving ESA(C) though.0
