Hi @gillian29

You will not pay any tax, as your tax allowance for this financial year is £11,850.

atlas46,i know I have a tax allowance which is £11,850,I wasn’t asking because of that.im trying to apply for warm home front discount.Now my son is over 18 I’m not entitled to it unless there is less than £16.000 coming from my taxable benefits and my sons work,I don’t know which part of my benefits are taxable

Hi,
Your sons income isn’t counted for the warm Home discount because his income isn’t yours, it’s his. The same reason as his income isn’t counted for your ESA. Your ESA is Income Related and this alone will qualify you for WHD for most energy suppliers. Hope this helps.
