ESA self employed and late payed invoice

maralions

Hello,

I am wanting to claim ESA as I am currently signed off sick. I am a self employed artist. I am not currently working, but am due an invoice that will be paid in a month for last month's work.

If this gets paid into my account it will take me over the weekly threshold. Can I ask for an allowance to be made as it's for backdated work?

I've tried and failed to get an answer from ESA helpline and today I keep getting hung up on, so wondering if anyone has experienced similar.

Thanks!
