Peoples Pension and ESA

Enrolled in the PP and am a little confused how this will affect my ESA claim. Does it only affect how much I get if I withdraw the pension fund? And what about private pensions, am I allowed to contribute to a pension while on ESA without limits?

Good explanation of the general rules around ESA which may be useful: https://www.ageuk.org.uk/information-advice/money-legal/benefits-entitlements/employment-and-support-allowance/
As you will note, it is income from a pension which could impact on your claim, not contributions to a pension scheme.
You cannot contribute to a pension 'without limits'. See https://adviser.royallondon.com/technical-central/pensions/contributions-and-tax-relief/pension-contributions-the-basics/Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!1
