Are you entitled to ESA if you have savings over £16k and unable to work?

I think so, but the following need to apply:
- worked as an employee or have been self-employed
- paid enough National Insurance contributions, usually in the last 2 to 3 years - National Insurance credits also count
Otherwise it’s UC, which you would not get with savings over 16k.Credit card 1800
Overdraft 250

If you've paid enough recent NI contributions you could be entitled to New Style ESA (not means tested). Have you been working recently?"Do not attribute to conspiracy what can adequately be explained by incompetence" - rogerblack0
