Thank you BellaBoo. You understand the question I am asking and as I thought confirm that I cannot get tax relief on the my ESA if I put it into my pension. Hmrc admins- could you please read my questions again. You haven’t answered my question. I don’t think you understand what I am asking. If you believe you have answered the question I am asking then please refer me to some government page that confirms it.

Thank you HMRC Admin 21. Could you please point me to some guidance or other source that confirms this? I had understood that ESA didn't count. For example it is not listed here: https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/pensions-tax-manual/ptm044100#earnings I am trying to work out how much I can put into my SIPP this year and still get tax relief. I will earn less than £60k this year even with the ESA so I will be putting in less than that and need to work out exactly what earnings will count (as I only want to put in an amount that attracts tax relief)

Hello, I received contribution-based ESA. I'm wondering whether it counts as employment income for the purposes of working out what my pension annual allowance is this year. Thanks
