C = the weekly amount of the periodical payment. Any fraction has to be treated as a fraction of a week3. 1 ESA Regs (NI), reg 123(5); 2 reg 123(10); 3 reg 123(9) Example has an applicable amount of £65.45 but receives income-related Employment and Support Allowance of £40.45 a week because she is in receipt of a periodical liable relative payment of £25 a week. She receives a non-periodical liable relative payment of £500 in addition to the periodical liable relative payment of £25 a week. The decision maker decides that the periodical payment of £25 is less than £67.45 (the total of £2 + £65.45). The decision maker then has to determine the period for which the additional payment of £500 is to be taken into account. The decision maker applies the formula in DMG 51747 where A = £500 B = £67.45 (£2 + £65.45) C = £25 This gives an answer of 11.77 (£500 ÷ (£67.45 - £25)). The decision maker takes the payment into account for 11 weeks at £42.45 and 1 week at £33.05. The weekly amount of the payment in addition to the periodical liable relative payment ends Marie’s entitlement to Employment and Support Allowance. The weekly amount of the non-periodical payment The weekly amount of the non-periodical payment is equal to the divisor used to calculate the period for which it is taken into account1. This will be the total of 1. £2 and the amount of income-related Employment and Support Allowance which would have been paid had the periodical payment not been made less 2. the weekly amount of the periodical payment in payment. 1 ESA Regs (NI), reg 124(5) When should the decision maker start taking a non-periodical payment into account 51749 The period during which the non-periodical payment should be taken into account should begin on the date the payment is treated as paid1. 1 ESA Regs (NI), reg 123(8)
