Your ESA will continue as normal. You must make sure you tell DWP that you’re working and fill out the PW1 form. 

You must make sure you work less than 16 hours/week and earn no more than £167/week. Any more than this and your ESA will stop.

Do be aware that if the work you do contradicts the reasons why you’re in the Support Group then it can go against you when you’re next reviewed.
