Re support group & pension/savings

Hello again,
If you are migrated over to ESA support group after your medical etc, you have mentioned on previous posts that your ill health pension is discounted regards income. Is that the same situation regards savings you may have as well? Plus has there been any descion yet on pre 1995 incapcity benefits claiments regards taxing thier benifit when migrated to ESA?

Thank you and sorry for going over trodden ground

Does it also mean that esa/cb on migration lasts for a year from the point of migration or does the year start from April 2011 whilst you may still be on IB?Also will pensions currently not included under IB be counted under esa/ir?

Thank you, Gordon, for your quick and comprehensive reply - much appreciated as usual.

Hello again gordon,
Firstly may i thank you for your prompt and very informative answers to my quiries, plus the answers to additional other posters comments under my heading.
One more question on this subject if i may.Someone under my post has quierid the fact that will the ill health pensions still be disregarded after the one year in the WRAG Cb ESA group, when they move over to IR ESA.
You mentioned that if the claim is continuous or not??? My situation is that ive claimed IB from 1993 and has been continuous, as has my ill health pension which ive had since 1995ish.

So if your not in the support group and eventually migrate after one year to IR ESA will that mean as ive had a continuous IB claim since 1993 my pension will be discounted as that has also been continous ? Is this protection just for the one year?But im confussed as IR ESA is means tested??? or is it only means tested after 1 year transistional period? Sorry to go on but your clarification if possible would be a comfort and sorry for repeating my concerns so often.
