Does any member know if DLA is means tested ? Do you know if ESA Support Group is means tested?
Thanks B
DLA is not means tested.
For ESA it is not the group that is means tested but the type of ESA you are receiving.
If you are receiving Contribution Based ESA then it is not means test, however, pension payments above £85/week may have an effect on the amount your receive.
If you are receiving Income Related ESA, either in part or in whole then it is means tested and will be affected by household income, any assets and savings and any hours that a partner works.
