    Yes have declared all missbiggles , that's the reason I received no help re mortgage and council tax as income to high . The pension enables me to pay what im meant too and manage no problem , it is when they take it away the struggle will begin..

    Did you also declare it to DWP in relation to your ESA?

    If you have already declared your pension and been refused mortgage help, then when ESA stops you will remain not entitled to mortgage and ESA IR.

    Your pension must be more than £400 a month... ?

    How old are you?

    We are all assuming you are single... do you have a partner who works?
