A mandatory top-up grant of £200 is usually paid by ES to
claimants for the first 13 weeks of IAP. This grant is usually paid
in weekly instalments at £15.38 a week. The decision maker
should
1) apply the capital payable by instalments rules to decide
whether the instalments should be treated as income or capital
(DMG42013)
2) apply the income disregarded in DMG24049 to any period
treated as income
Note for the treatment of payments treated as capital see
