Taxable "income" question regarding migration from ESA to UC
I am on ESA, and I think it's contrib. As far as premiums go, I get the enhanced premium (I think this is the low income component), the support group extra, plus SDP.Looking at my latest "DSS / DWP" tax slip for the end of the tax year, I see that my taxable "income" is £6835.50.This amount appears to roughly match up…

Hi, my name is Tinks1! Could you keep your contribution based ESA if you inherited £100,000?
If sm1 receives an inheritance of around £100,000.00 is it correct that they can still keep their Contribution ESA. My friend says he can still keep it. But I'm saying no due to the amount he would receive. [Amount corrected by moderator]

Today I received a payment from the dwp out of the blue for £40 odd quid and can’t quite figure out why. If you’ve failed do you normally get a random payment or do they just stop it ? Will try to give them a call,…
