Notice pay and ESA

littlebutton1001

hi! Has anyone experienced this before? I’m on IR ESA and about to receive 3 months notice pay and I’ve finally been dismissed from my job due to ill health. Do I phone DWP to tell them and how does it affect my ESA? Thank you!

Hello @littlebutton1001, I'm sorry no one has been able to help you with this yet. Have you managed to find the answer? 
I'm not entirely sure of the answer, but I would imagine you need to let them know. @poppy123456 I don't suppose you have any ideas do you?

Hi,

It depends what you're receiving this money for.

See link. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/788437/admv4.pdf

V4049 Payments made as a result of employment ending do not affect ESA

V4075 Any holiday pay that is payable within four weeks of the date employment ended, or was interrupted, should be treated as earnings for ESA

That’s brilliant thank you! I really appreciate it! Do you think this is the same for both types of esa? As I’m receiving income based.

It maybe different for Income Related ESA but i can't find anything that says anything for sure.

Ok thank you for looking! I’m wondering if it was different it would have said in that document you found? I will contact DWP and see what they say! Really appreciate your help.

Thanks for your help with this @poppy123456. 
Good luck with the DWP @littlebutton1001, let us know how you get on, it would be useful to know what they say to you about this.
