Tax return filing and ESA/PIP

Timothy_Richards

Hello -

I have been receiving income related ESA, mortgage relief payments and PIP for a health condition.

Do these need to be declared on a tax return form?

Thankyou - Timothy

Why would you be filling in a tax return form if you're on disability benefits? I suspect the best course of action is to speak directly to HMRC or go on their website.

No as they are not taxable.

Thank you.

I also received a backdated income ESA and PIP payment as a lump sum. This came to around £2000 in total.

I assume the same tax position for these - ie. they don't need to be declared on the tax return?

These are he same benefits you already mentioned. They aren't taxable.
