ESA Support group

Hi.
I have progressive MS and have been in the support group for over 10 years.
I would like to have a go at starting my own business but I'm worried that it might get too much for me and if so would I be able to stay in the support group?
Thanks

You need to let ESA know when starting work by printing and posting this form back to them: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1148680/permitted_work_factsheet_PW1_04_23.pdfYou must work under 16 hours a week and less than £167 a week. You won’t loose your Support Group award by doing this, but I need to make you aware that if what you do contradicts what you claim for, it may go against you at re-assessment.0

Hello @Bridgette340 and a warm welcome to the community.
I see @bg844 has already helpfully answered your question so I just wanted to wish you the best of luck with your business. Do you know what sort of thing you'd like to do?0
