    If you are speaking about PIP, you can work on PIP yes. PIP is not means-tested, so working is an option if you can find a job role that can accommodate your condition.

    No, it's not a change of circumstances that you need to report. Are you claiming any other benefits? if so which ones exactly please?

    Before your ESA ended, did you use a benefits calculator to check entitlement to Universal Credit? Living with a working partner doesn't mean there's no entitlement.
