Possible change in circumstances

I know you shouldn't count your chickens and all that, but a relative recently died and I understand from my brother that the 2 of us could be coming into some money from a property sale (yes lucky me I know).

Would it be complete madness to think of voluntarily 'giving up' my award of ESA (especially if I don't receive any money in a bequest!)? But if this bequest of money comes to anything, to be honest I would rather the money that I currently get go to someone more in need than I would be.

I'd love to hear of others views

Don't give up your award as whilst you are claiming you are paying NI credits towards your state pension. Depending on which group you are in CB support group I think you can have savings although it is always best to inform the DWP of any changes in circumstance

Thank you both for your replies, its certainly given me food for thought.

Best wishes
