    Hi @gillian29

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

    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.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
