Hi there,

I am currently receiving New Style ESA in the Support Group. I have recently been dismissed from my job due to capability of ill health and i am due to receive a Payment in Lieu of Notice (PILON) of 4 weeks and holiday pay.

I would like to clarify whether receiving these payments will affect my ESA, and if so, how it will be calculated. My ESA payment is scheduled for the 27th of this month, and I want to ensure I report everything correctly to avoid any overpayment issues.

Could you please advise on:

  1. Whether my ESA will be reduced or paused due to PILON/holiday pay.

Thanks for any help!

    Apologies that no-one was able to reply @3jester1. Your ESA shouldn't have been affected as it is not a means-tested benefit. Has that been the case?
