How much can you get?
[ch 3: page 47]The assessment phase
During the assessment phase you are paid a “basic allowance”. This is set at a similar level to that of Jobseeker’s Allowance. If you are aged under 25 you will receive a reduced rate of this basic allowance.
The reduction for under 25s does not apply once they have completed the assessment period.
| If you are on contribution-related ESA you will get: | |
| Under 25 | £57.90 |
| Age 25 and over | £73.10 |
| If you are on income-based ESA you may get up to: | |
| Single and under 25 | £57.90 |
| Single and age 25 and over | £73.10 |
| Lone parents age 18 and over | £73.10 |
| Couples age 18 and over | £114.85 |
After the assessment phase you may receive one of two additional payments depending on whether you are placed in the Work-Related Activity Group or the Support Group.
Work-Related Activity Group
If you are placed in the Work-Related Activity Group you will receive a work-related activity component of £29.05.
Support Group
If you are placed in the Support Group you will receive a support component of £36.20. If you are terminally ill this component will be paid to you during the assessment phase.
