Help with contribution ESA Please!

i am having a meltdown!!! I was told by JCP staff in person and DWP staff over the phone that if i requested my holiday pay from work once my occupational sick pay had run out then thiswould NOT affect my benefit, it would be treated as capital.....HOWEVER today i scanned my payslip with a months worth of holiday pay to DWP and they rung me and said they are stopping my benefit as they are treating it as regular income! They will not budge and will not tell me who it was i spoke to previously!


Any help/advice please!

I suspect that it should be counted as income after all that is what it is,you could put in a written complaint

I think I will have to complain as Its more to do with what I was told originallyand i have had work done on my house which I would not have had done if i thought they would stop my benefit!


Thanks
