UK Sick Pay, levels of the (ESA), incapacity and unemployment benefits breach legal obligations.

United Kingdom is not in conformity with Article 12§1 of the 1961 European Social Charter on the grounds that:

the level of the Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) is inadequate;

the minimum levels of the Employment Support Allowance (ESA) are inadequate;

the level of long-term incapacity benefits is inadequate;

the level of unemployment benefits is inadequate”

Statutory sick pay and government assistance for the jobless and self-employed in the UK have been found to breach international legal obligations.

The amount of money available to those claiming statutory sick pay and employment support allowance is “manifestly inadequate”, according to the guardians of an international charter ratified by the UK in 1962.
