Historic ESA rates (selected).

[nukecad]

The following post is a table of selected ESA rates from October 2008 (when ESA first started) to April 2020.

These are only the basic single 25+ and couples 18+ rates, and the main premiums.
Other rates and premiums may have been payable depending on individual ages and circumstances.

As well as being of general interest these should help anybody wanting to calculate backpayments due from the IB-ESA error.

They show the weekly rates of selected ESA components and premiums, along with the 52 week total for the premiums.
