  • Do you usually earn the bonus as well?

    The difference between your wages with and without the collection target bonus is £4200 a year, did you include that in the calculations?


    What you're entitled to is calculated every month based on what you've told them and your wages
    so my earing are 28200 before tax and dni if you take in yearly salary

    as sent a post saying by Martin Lewis those earing under 35 k can get 6k payout or tis that scam it was on tik tok 
     Not a scam but depends on your circumstances. People with children on their claim and/or disabilities might get a payment on higher income. A single person with no disability on average wages not so much .

    Yes, that bonus is part of your wages and if you get it every month it's £28K not £24K. The system works by assessing how much you're entitled to and then looking at what you've earned and making deductions accordingly, it will look at your wages each month.

     Being single has never payed but its much more expensive to live with children and disabilities hence those people getting an award.
