    Are there any capital rules for either or both of CESA or IRESA?

    If so, at least one of the properties should be taken into consideration?

    Would the OP be on CESA ( even though he has never worked - presumably he could have credits)?

    Or would he be on IRESA?

    Something doesn't sound right, only ESA-CB is taxable and he doesn't appear to qualify. The capital would most likely wipe all entitlement to ESA-IB.

    You qualify for contributory Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) if you have paid sufficient National Insurance contributions. There are two contribution conditions you must meet:

    First contribution condition - in one of the last two complete tax years, you must have paid Class 1 or 2 contributions on relevant earnings at the lower earnings limit for at least 26 weeks. This means you must have worked for at least 26 weeks of the last two complete tax years; and

    Second contribution condition - in both of the last two complete tax years, you must have paid or been credited with, Class 1 or 2 contributions to the value of 50 times the lower earnings limit.

    Looking at Darksparkle's explanation, and assuming that you are on IB ESA, does your capital affect your ESA?

    Should you be getting ESA or not as much ESA?

    Capital over £6,000 would reduced ESA IB, £16,000 would stop ESA IB.
