Work and esa

MissCT8676

I’ve been wanting to try and go back to doing home care work but I’m currently on esa support group and I’m confused by what this means?

Does it mean I need a support worker to come to work with me?

2. Supported permitted work

Supported permitted work is for people with a disability, illness or health condition who cannot work for more than a few hours each week. The work is supervised by a professional support worker. A professional support worker is someone who works for a public or voluntary organisation.

Hi @MissCT8676 - permitted work just means that you can work for less than 16 hours a week &, so long as you don't earn more than £183.50 (after tax & National Insurance) a week your ESA will not be affected. You would also need to complete form PW1:
