Permitted Work and Profit Share

I am on PWHL and can earn the £99 for 52 weeks. I've held this job for 11years and started claiming ESA in January.

At work we got a profit share in this months pay packet. This is 2.9% of our wage. Roughly £120.

Does this affect permitted work; as in take you above the threshold? It's not extra work I've undertaken just a 'perk'.

Common sense says it shouldn't matter but...

Comments

  • Are you income related ESA or contributions based? If the latter it should not matter. If the former you will need to tell them as it is income.
