Working and ESA

Hi all, just a quick query.

OH is currently on income based ESA and is claiming for me. He also gets DLA higher mob and mid care.

There is a chance that I may be able to go back to work part time (over 16 hours) and will earn approx £146 pw before stoppages.

Will he still be entitiled to ESA?

Are you on DLA middle rate care or higher?

If not then he will no longer be paid ESA(IR) and will receive credits only.

The ESA claim will end the day before he retuns to work. However, he may be able to be paid Return To Work Credt (RTWC) which pays £40pw for 52 weeks. JCP should inform him if he quaflies.

Its not the claimant that is going back to work though - its the partner.

He gets middle rate care and higher mobility.

Yes, but do you get Middle Rate Care or the higher rate care?

If you dont then he isnt entitled to SDP and your income would exceed his entitlement.
