I receive an Ill Health Retirement pension from my former employers and am still waiting to hear whether I will receive any ESA (I am seeing my GP tomorrow)
Could someone please confirm whether the disregarded income (before any reduction) is STILL £85 or whether this has risen in line with other benefits ?
It appears to have been set at this level some years ago and must be due for a rise ?
