New Style ESA

New Style ESA was created by vicki_s
Just have a question about new style ESA. I'm aware you can't earn more than £183.50 per week. Does this include earning bank interest too? So if you got some bank interest every month would that be included in the £183.50? Or is it only money earned from employment?

Thanks

Hi vicki_s

You are correct when you are talking about legacy benefits but not NS ESA rules are different.

We would advise you to seek advice from your local Welfare Rights organisation; url=https://advicelocal.uk] advicelocal.uk [/url] .

In regards to your second question, bank interest is not classed as earned interest, it is capital, only money earned from employment counts towards supported permitted work/permitted work higher limit.

Earnings within the permitted work limits are ignored for ESA and Housing benefit.
