    Hi @kellans39 - Welcome to the community. As regards your query, BR is one of the tax codes & stands for 'basic rate.'
    'BR  -  All your income from this job or pension is taxed at the basic rate (usually used if you’ve got more than one job or pension)'  This quoted from the governments website: https://www.gov.uk/tax-codes
    There's some info here as to why this code has been given, which I hope explains. Please see: https://www.taxrebateservices.co.uk/tax-faqs/tax-codes/br-tax-code

    Hi and welcome, you will have received the P60 showing nil earnings but ESA make National insurance contributions so this is why you get the P60
