Non dep deduction from HB - ESA in Youth?
Wed 21-Oct-09 02:49 PM

Hello

My client's non dep daughter has claimed ESA. She failed the WCA and is currently appealing that decision so still receiving assessment phase rate of £50.95 pw

I had initially assumed that there should be no non dependent deduction, but now I think there may be a deduction of £7.40 as she's not on income related ESA.

Can anyone quickly confirm if i'm right?

Thanks

You are correct. Unless the Claimant is registered blind or receives AA of course.

Thanks for confirming that Trish

It turns out my client is still on income related ESA, but that the local authority thinks she is on main phase ESA...

They should be able to check this directly with DWP.

They could also have just read the ESA letter I've already sent them, but hey, why make things easy
