    If part of your ESA is contributions based then this is taxable income but what you'll receive will be below the tax allowance so you won't pay any tax at all. The Income related top up which the SDP is part of is NOT taxable. You have nothing to worry about and they are not taking any money off you, it's just you haven't understood the letter you've received.
    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.

    A lot of people don't understand them, even the young ones. Age makes no difference.
