Hey I know I've asked this before but has anyone ever done permitted work on ESA and it was used against them when they had their next assessment?
My friend is on ESA and is in the support group, and he really wants to try and do some work but is fearful that he would be deemed as cured even though he will never be.
Is there also any support from anywhere or the jobcentre if he was eventually ready to take that leap into employment without it going against him? He would need 1 on 1 support.
Thanks.

Hello @JustJem
Scope have a Support To Work service that may be something for your friend to look into. They provide a free online and telephone support programme for those with disabilities looking to get back into work.1
