My daughter who has high functioning autism received a letter today saying that she can work now she receives esa and pip will working effect any of her benefits she is getting now

PIP is not a means-tested benefit, meaning any other household income (job/other benefits) will not affect your PIP benefit. However, ESA is a means-tested benefit.Disability Gamechanger - 2019

mrsfalla2012 said:Yes she has she received a letter from dwp yesterdayHer ESA will now stop and her next step is to request the Mandatory Reconsideration and she has 28 days from the date of the decision to request this. Does she receive the severe disability premium in with her ESA because she lives alone and no one claim carers allowance for looking after her?I'd advise her to get help and advice from a local advice centre near her, CAB or welfare rights if possible. Her PIP won't be affected.

Hi there, and welcome!
Do you mind me asking...
So you feel she is ready to work and therfore needs support in doing that...
Or do you feel they have made a wrong decision? -
I don’t think she’s ready for work at all but she will need so much support if she does
