Income based ESA question

in Benefits & tax credits
I am on income based esa. I will be moving in 2 weeks time and will be staying with my dad. I only intend to stay there for around 3 months until we can get somewhere to live. I will be informing them of the address change etc.

My question is will my dads wages now be taken into account and will I still be entitled to esa? I'm a bit confused right now, as always lol.

Thanks.

    Your father's income is not included in the calculations for your benefit so you'll be fine.
    Forums can be/are a good guide to entitlement and it is good practice to back it up with clarification from the relevant department/specialist with written confirmation to safeguard yourself.
