ADM Chapter 5 H5: unearned income

Good afternoon,

I am hoping someone can help me to ascertain whether ADM Chapter 5 H5: unearned income is applicable to ESA or is it just UC?

I read somewhere that it is advice for all SS benefits, but after going down a rabbit warren of information I am so confused and it isn't at all clear.

The reason I am asking is because I receive a war pension and a service invaliding pension (non-tax attributable). I also get ESA at a significantly reduced rate due to my SIP being taken into account.

Thanks in advance.

Hi AmyR

Yes you have to be very careful as there are many rules that differ between ESA and UC.
UC has its own separate legislation --Universal Credit Regulations 2013
