    Congratulations. Remember you will continue to be paid ESA at £74.35/week for the time being. You will get £113.55 from the 14th week of your claim.
    Are there any other benefits you currently get?
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.
  • Thank you.
    It says will be paid from today, think that was my 14 weeks, last payment went in yesterday. Just child tax (and at the moment working tax, but I think that's just for this year as we've never had it before). 
    Ive just looked at the calculator and if I hand my notice in, and DD1 definitely isn't coming home (she stayed with boyfriend during lockdown and doesn't think she's moving back) we would also get £6 a week help for council tax. 
    LBM in April 17 - Starting card debt £33554

    Total debt @june 18 £102311
