HI my wife and I are on Income-based ESA how much monthly income can you have before being moved to Contribution-based part of ESA.

What do you mean? Contributions based ESA is based on you paying NI in the relevant tax years.

Hi
We are on Income-based ESA because we didnt have enough money coming in. If we started to get a income would we be moved to Contribution-based esa

I agree - I cannot think of an example where someone would move from IB to CB. OP, do you mean that you are currently receiving CB ESA with an IB top up?

The IB element of your ESA would be reduced by your income (with any relevant disregards) until you were down to your CB element, which you would still receive.

So if you receive £100 ESA, made up of £50 CB and £50 IB, and you have an income of £100, you would still receive £50 ESA.

You would have been assessed for CB ESA before you were assessed for IB ESA. It is done as standard.
