I am on ESA contributory based ESA i live alone can my unpaid carer move in fulltime with me to help me more without it affecting my ESA benefit ? he has a state pension and works fulltime if it does affect my ESA benefit how many days in one week can he stay and care for me without it affecting my ESA benefit. hope that makes sense thanks in advance George.

Pardon? I have a disability too and i can't always reply to people, i'm sorry if i over looked your answer... You really should get some expert face to face advice from an agency near you.

Hi @geo31237, I understand you're concerned about your situation, but please remember our members here all have other commitments and @poppy123456in particular as one of our community champions spends a lot of her time volunteering to answer queries.
Contribution-based ESA shouldn't be negatively affected by having a carer move in, but to echo Poppy, it might be best talking to your local CAB for further advice.Community Manager

Yes I think I should consult a welfare rights person I apologise for my impatience.

It’s not a problem @geo31237, I think we can all understand you’re anxious to know the answer to this. Please let us know how you get on and what CAB or Welfare Rights advise.Community Manager
