Permitted work and average hours?

Lostsoul13

I’m starting training tomorrow and this week because of training my hours will be 18- but next week and week after I’ll be doing 15 (well 14.59)

will esa average out my hours because of training? For my first 5 weeks?

I rung them this morning but forget to ask I was asking about if they had made a decision about my permitted work- twice today and Friday they guys said it should be ok 15.59 hrs

Are you being paid for the training? if so how often will you be paid? weekly, monthly?

I’m being paid for training- every two weeks.. regards

Thanks. Hours can be averaged but your earnings can't. If your earnings are more than £151/week then you will not be entitled to ESA for those weeks and it will stop. If all of your ESA is Income Related you will not be able to reclaim it.
