This payment is regarded as earnings and will be liable for tax, national insurance contributions and student loan repayments, where appropriate. It will also be included in benefits calculations.
You must only receive one payment (even if you have more than one job). You must not claim more than once as this may be considered as fraud.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us.
