    That's true but not what she was asking about though. She thought contribution was more. One person claiming ESA will get the same whatever type it is. Income based is always on the household so in this case would be more than a single claim.

    And of course ESA C has it's advantages and will pay more if there is high savings or pension income.

    No pension, both in our 40's and savings of £2000....not much to fall back on. Fortunately, other than the mortgage no debt! I have to be grateful for small mercy's!!!
