ESA

Options
Hi,

I am getting this benefit and my birthday falls on the 4th April, but was told I will only get part if my pension at the end of April, then the full one at the end of May so what I want to know is will I still get my benefit  until the end of April?

    ESA should stop automatically once you reach state pension age.
    It is paid 2 weeks in arrears, so there is likely to be one further payment after your birthday, which won't necessarily be a full payment.

    Your ESA will end the day before you reach state pension age, not on your birthday itself.
