Work Pension and ESA Contributory was created by Glen49bc
I have recently had my work pension and decided to have a lump sum (tax free)and a small monthly regular payment into my bank of £366.06p
I have received a letter from DWP saying that 'We now know your average income paid by xxxxx County Pension Fund is £88.16 (gross) per week. Also saying that my weekly payments of ESA Support Group will be changed from £138.20 to £136.62 per week.
Is this correct? I did inform DWP regarding my pension and they told me because of being in the Support Group Contributory ESA it wouldn't make any difference to my payments. It appears that it does make a difference. Now I don't know which is right! I don't want to have money taken off me when it shouldn't be or if its correct then fair enough. It isn't a great amount but even so I would like it to be correct
Can you advise me please.

Hi ladypowys,
From the information that you have supplied the DWP have made the correct deduction. It is worked out as half the weekly amount over £85. So £88.16 minus £85 is £3.16 and half this is £1.58. So deduct £1.58 from £138.20 and you get £136.62
This is assuming that you get £88.16 gross per week from the pension fund.
