Good afternoon all. I am still in receipt of ESA income based. I was informed about 7 years ago that everyone will eventually migrate to Universal Credit.

How does the DWP calculate the amount of ESA taxable income?
Sometime earlier this year, I got my annual slip of paper from the DWP, telling me how much of my ESA benefits counted towards taxable income.
