Contribution Based ESA and contractual sick pay
Wed 06-Jan-10 12:41 PM

When someone's SSP ended and they claimed IB any contractual sick pay they got did not affect the IB.

We cannot find anything that says this is the same for ESA.

Does anyone know if the rules regarding contractual sick pay are the same for ESA as they were for IB?

Thanks

Nicky

I've had a look at the ESA Regs and paragraph 95 (2) (b) states that earnings are not to include "any remuneration paid by an employer to the claimant absent from work because the claimant is ill.

Hope thats some help.
