I'm looking for advice. I have a short term project that I would like someone to work with me who will be on disability benefits (not sure which ones) would they be able to work as a consultant without it effecting their benefits?

they would be working for a few hours a week max for 5 months

any advice?

thanks

Lou

    Hi @LouiseB

    It depends on the benefits. You may find this page on Permitted Work useful.

    Best wishes, Alex

    It will also depend on thier reason for claiming the benefit. for example a person claiming mobility would be ill advised to deliver leaflets
