  • It's contribution based, so you won't lose your ESA.

    If your partner now wants to move in? And does.... Your HB and CTB will be affected.

    What's you opinion on your partner moving in?

    If it is contributory, and if you're in the work-related activity group, under the proposals going through parliament, this will be limited in time to a one year claim., after which you will not be paid.
