I am on ESA in the support group and I have been offered a full time job but I'm worried it may not be suitable and I'm worried about losing my benefits. I have heard that you can keep your ESA for a short while to see how the work goes. Anybody done this??
Thanks
Glen

    Hi Glen and welcome

    Any work you do should not be in conflict with your reason for claiming ESA

    for example, if your claim is about mobility then a job as a postman may not be a good idea
