Without going too much in the other thread I'll need to know a few things about starting a proper job. Long story short my work history consists of long term volunteering for charity, a casual job with uni and some odd jobs.

I got lucky and have received a job offer and this being my first proper job in an office I'm a little lost on the process. My new employers are well aware this would be my first office environment job.

I've been on DLA (now PIP) since I was 18 due to severe anxiety, epilepsy, minor manic depression and the old favourite regular depression. My years in uni have helped significantly during and I have informed the job centre about the changes. Now I want off the system completely because I feel like a right sponge. By that I mean no work grants or permitted work. Full on off the system. When do I go about telling the job centre that I now have a job? As soon as I accept the offer or shortly before I start work? As much I don't want to be a sponge, I do need the money in between the transition into work but would otherwise not want to get done for bennie fraud.

The other thing is my P45. The casual job I had was over a year ago and I get my P45 now and again which goes straight into the paperwork pile which will be a ballache to dig into. I don't recall the last time I received my P45. May have been last April going by the tax year. Is it ok to give my new employers a relatively old (but current) P45 or should I have to fill in a P46. Or is this something I should ask the job centre about while I'm closing my DLA claim?

If you overclaim then the arrears demands will follow. Seen it happen many times in council tax recovery; someone gets a job and then not only do they have to start paying things like council tax and rent, they start getting chased for the overpayment for the period between starting work and informing the council. Not everyone can cope with effectively having the rug pulled out from under them and end up with a court order for the debt.

If you were on jobseekers allowance, the jobcentre gives you a P45 when you sign off, I'm not sure whether PIP would be the same or now.

Notify the JobCentre in advance of the date when you are due to start work. Your IB or ESA will be paid up to this date. You're still entitled to PIP even if you're in full-time employment, but starting work may trigger a re-assessment of your claim.

You should be entitled to Extended Payment of Housing Benefit to cover the gap between starting work and your first pay packet. Ask the JobCentre about this when you tell them of your change in circumstances.

If you need to buy clothes or cover transport costs for your new job, you can apply for an interest-free budgeting loan. You can borrow up to £348 and repay it at an affordable rate. Your local council may also provide loans or grants for people starting work.

I know you want to get off benefits completely, but if you need any support related to your mental health problems, you should think about applying for an Access to Work grant.

You don't need a P45. The PAYE Starter Checklist has replaced the old P46. It's perfectly straightforward to fill out; you can download and print a copy at the link below.

Was meant to reply but it's been something of a shitstorm this week.

Called up to cancel my PIP as I was in the position of transitioning to it. Told me to call up DLA too. Called them. They told me to close my claim I can't do it over the phone and have to look on the website and write to them. This is a fucking ball ache. I've decided that I'm just going to fill out a P46 (my employers specifically ask for a P45 or P46 rather than the PAYE starter checklist which >>11042 mentioned)

PIP doesn't give you a P45 it seems. I asked specifically and they said they couldn't.

I looked it up and the fine is £50 plus what I repay. They really aren't making it simple.

Oh and my employers sent me a link to the starter checklist which was among my payroll form and contract for me to fill out but still want a P45 or P46 anyway.
