Hi folks
I have been off work for 6 months and just been accepted for ESA, the old incapacity benefit, £65 a week. However, works have told me I will get half pay aswell for 6 months. Is this right? If it is, I'll be no worse off! I also get half my mortgage paid through mortgage protection, so in effect I'm better off not working.
Crazy!!!

I have applied for ESA today and they know that I am still employed and that my SSP stops next month and it didnt seem to matter. So I assume that what ever your company sick pay policy is does not affect your ESA claim at all.
Hope this helps

I've just gone down to half pay at work. Can someone tell me what 'ESA' is??
Also, can anyone easily explain what benefits/ help you can get? I doubt I'm going to be able to get back to work and so likely to be sacked in the next 6 months. I'm really scared and don't know where to start.
thanks to any advice.

Is is employment and sickness allowance, replacing incapacity benefit. IF you google it you will find it. As regards to other benefits, I dont know
