I am a bit worried as when we submitted the Fiance Visa application (pre July 9th) I have used my Cont Based ESA as a souse of meeting the financial requirement as in that I can use that to support my Fiance.

Income from the following sources will not be counted towards the financial
requirement: Information On Claiming Public Funds. PG 44

Contribution based ESA

Cont ESA is not considered as public funds.

So I am worried that I can not use my ESA COnt towards the financial requirement? I am trying to find out if Contribution BASED ESA was for certain allowed to be used to meet the maintenance requirement before July 9th so that I know I am still ok?
