Have you taken into consideration the disability element of working tax credit which is over £3000 pet tear alone?

If you post on the benefits board with more details of how you're calculating things it might help.

I was thinking the same thing, glad i read all the posts.

But a good point nevertheless.

Are you concerned about losing long term/permanent entitlement to CB ESA?

If that is the situation, then it's understandable, so the charity/private work suggestion is a good one. Outside the NHS you might also find a job with fewer hours.

I'm not sure how salary sacrifice works in this situation, but could that also be a way to reduce your income in the private sector? (Pension contributions or similar.) I don't think NHS offers salary sacrifice, but it's worth asking.

Yes, I am concerned about losing my permanent entitlement to ESA as many of the jobs that I am applying for are fixed term and funding dependent. The competition for roles is also very fierce.

Thank you re your advice re salary sacrifice, I shall certainly look into this further.
