If you’re not currently working then this will not affect your ESA.

If you’re claiming Universal Credit as well then it will be treated as earnings in the assessment period which it’s received.

I dont qualify for UC. Thank you for your response. I did contact DWP and they were not much help.

Hi @sjsid, welcome to the community. Looks like Poppy has answered your question, but I just wanted to say hello and welcome

If you have any more questions feel free to ask away. I'll pop your post into our ESA section just in case, where more members can find it to offer their experiences.

You’re welcome. I’m not surprised that they couldn’t help you because when you ring any DWP department you are speaking to someone from a call centre, who often have very little knowledge.
