Sssh, the nit pickers of the MSE forums don't care about that - they just assume that the op of any topic naturally has it better than them and is asking for help because they have so much money they're stupid.

Seriously, I couldn't help but wonder the very same thing - especially after the first two replies. One of them even stated "You obviously have a partner" :mad: I hate it when people jump to useless conclusions like that.

I would generally agree.

However, to be fair in this case, the second reply makes a fairly reasonable assumption. It is contribution based ESA (paid regardless of personal circumstances) that stops after 365 days. Income based would continue if the OP was eligible. Having a parter and / or modest savings would prevent this so they presumably have one or both.

The OP doesn't argue with this in their later post. I don't like the system either but it is what it is.

I said you obviously have a partner and or savings and interestingly the OP hasn't denied it so I can only presume its correct. I don't make the rules and don't necessarily agree with them. :mad:

Thanks for backing me up here.
