CB ESA- Settlement from employer was created by Arthritic Annie
Hi,

I've been of work for over a year snd I've recently been placed in the support group for Esa CB. We are not entitled to any means tested benefits.

My question is:

My employer is desperately trying to dismissal me on group of incapacity but they havnt been strictly within the law on this and I pointed this out to them. They've now decided to negotiate a settlement agreement to bring my employment to an end. I'm already due about £7000 in notice pay, holidays etc. I know anything they give me in addition to this will be modest knowing them but I'd be hoping for a few 1000.00. Will I have to declare this to ESA? Will it reduce/ affect my ESA?

Many thanks for your help.

Hi Arthritic Annie

My advice to you is before you agree to anything seek advice from an employment specialist such as Citizen Advice and ACAS ; www.acas.org.uk/advice

If you are in a Union ask your Union for advice.

As you are in receipt of CB ESA, any settlement payment will be ignored.
