Do I need to report a new medical condition to ESA?
Hi! New poster here and feeling very anxious. I currently am in the support group for ESA for my anxiety and depression, which have stayed the same so there's no need to report a change to these.

Home visits from care home, will SDP be paid

Initial phone call

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…
