So, it looks like ESA is the way to go unless any of the potential points above apply for the non-dependant deduction(s).  And even if the deduction(s) aren't right, ESA may still pay more than the UC left after your wages.

I don't think the non-dependant deduction(s) matter (unless I'm misunderstanding the rules), as even without those the deductions will still be more than entitlement.

That's what I thought was likely but to be sure, I did a calculation based on the max entitlement, how much could be earned, and it came out at somewhere over £1,600.
Very possible I could have done it wrong though.

Have you received your SSP1 form and any med/certs covering time after SSP runs out.  As advised before this will give instructions on how to apply for ESA.

Yes I’ve got the ssp1 form and am still getting sick notes. What do I do with the form now?
