Hi, Ive been lucky enough to receive a backpayment from the ESA 2014 underpayments.
Could anyone tell me if there is a time limit on how long this is disregarded as income? Many thanks.

Hi Starjacks

Arrears (or an ex-gratia payment) are disregarded for 52 weeks after you receive them.

If arrears made to compensate for an official error or an error on a point of law are £5,000 or more, they can be disregarded until the end of your award of the means-tested benefit.
