Evening all,
I currently received ESA, PIP, Severe Disablement Allowance and housing benefit.
My dad has offered to pay me £300 per month to do some work for his social media channels. Literally around a few hours a week and I get to work from home (I rarely leave house anyway) and would be paid properly and wage slip issued.
I know I would have to get the okay from ESA, but would I then have to ring up PIP and then housing? Or would it just be ESA? I don't want to accept if it's going to completely mess up my benefits.

I think you need ring pip housing and esa to be sure what they’ll deduct and see if it’s worth it0

You'll be allowed to earn £125.50 per week maximum, working less than 16 hours per week.Do be aware though, if the work you do contradicts the reasons you're claiming PIP and ESA then you could be assessed early and it may go against you.0
