Panic-ESA want money back-Advice please

Can't believe some of the posts on here. OP has already explained about keeping car because of elderly mother and that tv licence already paid for and telly not worth much to sell. Vassa, you seriously need to get over your television obsession and hectoring attitude!

Some of the posts are a bit harsh but realistically 1000 a month is more that most people who are on esa receive a month and probably the amount people on minimum wage get so it is about sorting out the finances.

If its a sort term blip and you hope to return to work then hopefully you can muddle through. If its longer term then you need to seriously consider your options as the last thing you need is your house being repossessed. Could you sell and then buy something smaller but instead of getting a new mortgage just transfer existing one over ?

I hope you get it sorted.

What £1000 a month is all you get? Are you sure, I'm on ESA and we get just under £2600 a month for the two of us!
We also don't pay any Council tax and when the DWP get their finger out they should also be paying our mortgage interest of £303 a month.

Have you had your benefit entitlement checked out?

No War Pension? Perhaps you live next door to Mrs Bucket (sorry, Bouquet), certainly sounds feasible. Please ignore posts from Andy, he will be banned soon enough (and return like an equally bad smell).

Of course I receive Pension Credit - between my wife and I we have an 'Appropriate Amount' (the minimum the government says we need) of £407.65. We receive pensions, benefits and other income of £293.65 a week + Guaranteed Pension Credit of £114.00 a week + £108.25 DLA + £79.15 AA + £2.00 Pension Credit Savings. Making a grand total of £597.05 a week.


As from next June when I receive my State Pension, I will lose the Guaranteed & Savings Credit of £116.00, but will receive £176.00 instead taking the weekly income up to £657.05.

Well, it appears tony isn't the only one who receives such a generous amount. :eek: The other poster quoted also had a very healthy benefit income, and I believe there was portly1 who had so much spare money, that his wife bought Mulberry handbags!

Is there really any need for such a ridiculous post that insinuates that I have a connection with others on this site.

I would imagine that there are many 1,000's of people on the same or similar level of income that we receive.
