New Style ESA Pension Calculations

More
3 weeks 5 days ago #300675 by UC:
Good morning,
Can anyone possibly advise if the DWP use Gross, rather than Net (after Tax) amounts of a private pension when calculating a Private Pension disregard for payment of New Style ESA?

I have discovered just now that DWP are using Gross rather than Net figures of my small private pension to calculate my New Style ESA entitlement, which seems rather unfair to me?

I suppose it might result in me paying less tax if this is the case?

Thank you in advance!

Hi UC:

It is the gross pension amount that is used.
