I have searched my Rights Handbook, CPAG handbook and I cannot find an answer.

I have a client who paid into a policy with the post office which will pay her previous salary for a year if she made redundant, had an accident or sickness.

She has been offerred early retirement with a pension and is now seriously ill. I know that any pension over £85 (last yrs figures) will reduce C.Based ESA by half the difference.

But I cannot find any guidance on the lifestyle protection plan, does anyone know if it is taken into account in full, partially etc?

took this direct from a similar case note so check this but i suggest CPAG pg 290

if he has contributed more than 50% then it can be ignored.
