Sorry to bother you again, but I have another small query or two 😊in the permitted work rules on ESA 50% of contribution to a workplace pension is classed as earnings (something that I didn’t know about). If I am still contributing to a workplace pension via salary sacrifice, whilst on UC what are the rules? And do I need to submit payslips every month to make sure I am not above the work allowance amount (it’s all very daunting). My other small query is, I don’t have a valid passport it expired March 2023, can it still be classed as acceptable for photo ID, as primary evidence, as I don’t drive! Many thanks for your time and kind consideration, as ever any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Marie.

Hi Marie
PAYE details are communicated to the DWP via the RTE IT system ( Real Time Earnings ) in the same feed that goes to the HMRC. Your UC is calculated on your net pay regardless of the amounts of employer's/employees pension contributions. So as long as your employer's payroll staff collate your salary details correctly there is no deduction for salary sacrifice.
As long as the photo of your expired passport is recognisable it can be used for a Face to Face ID verification in the Jobcentre but not for the online verification.
