My ESA has always been taxed. On I moved! Soon after my ESA stopped. As with all Service, Bank Accounts etc I informed the DWP DWP - Change of Address - 2016-09-27 The DWP have said stopping my ESA is standard practice. This was due to me claiming PIP. This is in violation of the Data Protection Act. DWP Have a duty to make sure all data they hold is accurate. The 2016-2017 tax year ended on 6 April 2017. Any ESA Payments after this would count toward 2017-2018 Tax. Due to a DWP cock up my ESA Stopped in September 2016. On The DWP made a payment of £5793.20 This was backed dated ESA I made DWP - ESA Non Payment - 1 - 2017-05-30 I got Letter 2017-07-06 I then got Letter 2017-07-28 On I made DWP - ESA Non Payment - 2 - 2017-08-19 I never got a responce so ICE said to email. correspondence@dwp.gsi.gov.uk On I made DWP - ESA Non Payment - 3 - 2017-09-18 I also requested Letter 2017-09-21 As you can see In 15/16 taxable benefit amount was £6269.66 In 16/17 taxable benefit amount was £2779.34 If we work on the assumption £6269.66 is the taxable amount for a full Tax Year. The personal tax allowance is about £11,000 If we take the £6269.66 and £5793.20 this is over the Allowance. This has royally fucked my tax. This year is not a worry, but next year I'm going to assume it will take me over the Tax limit so will end up paying tax due to DWP mistake!
