There is an adjustment to my tax free amount with "Less Adjustment to Rate Bands" £19,777

DWP (ESA) £7,207
This totals your tax free amount £-7,207

I dont understand this?

The only think i can think of: from Jan to Mar 2024 i was on job seekers allowance payment. Then i started a contracting job (day rate) from start of April 2024.

    Do you get Employment and Support Allowance?

    Do you still have a job?

    No, i don't get any employement and support allowance from the government. That all stopped end of march 2024, as I secured a job from april 2024.

    I'm still contracting for the same company that I started for in april 2024.
