People do work and claim PIP, however if the work you do contradicts your reasons for claiming PIP then there could be problems in the future. It totally depends on the job you do and your reasons for claiming PIP.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
Brilliant thanks

No problem @emmagrain I would just look at the job specification to see if it would be something that is suitable for yourself. Also, have you looked at access to work? There is the possibility of having reasonable adjustment and support to carry out the job. Very best of luck and please do keep us up to date!Scope
