Hi I’m on esa support group but I work 13hrs a week. I send my payslips to esa every month but I’m concerned this month as we are ment to be receiving a 10% bonus in our wages for working during covid. I’m not sure if this will take me ova the limit or not. Was just wanting to know wat wud happen wen I send my wage slip in this month if it does go over limit? And if it doesn’t go over and just shows I’ve had a bonus? Thanks

HI,When doing permitted work there's an absolute maximum amount you can earn each week without it affecting your ESA, which is £140 per week. Any weeks you earn more than this then your ESA will stop. However as it's a one off bonus i'm unsure how this will affect your ESA. My advice is to contact DWP and let a decision maker decide whether it will affect your ESA.0

Thanks for your reply. If it doesn’t take me over the £140 it’ll be ok then? I honestly don’t think it will but was unsure about having a bonus in this months pay.Thanks0

The maximum amount of earnings when doing permitted work is £140 per week after deductions. If you receive less than this then it will have no affect on your ESA. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/employment-and-support-allowance-permitted-work-form/permitted-work-factsheet

Hi
when I’ve worked it out I think I’m gunna be about £1.50 over the £140 ??♀️.0 -
I’m just thinking I’m having to work a couple of hrs less Nxt wk due to childcare issues, which I won’t get paid for those hrs I don’t work. So that should take me under the limit shouldn’t it? Would that be ok?0
