I been receiving employment and support allowance for many years along with dla for mobility issues, last September I had an esa assessment and scored 0 points assessor lied made things up, got money stopped in December, did mandatory reconsideration and same scored 0 points, went to tribunal and won so back in support group, I panicked about loosing my flat, I couldn’t claim universal credit because I couldn’t commit to looking for work and I no I would of been under pressure about looking for work handing out cv etc, I decided to have ago at making memorial jewellery for purpose of being self employed and try claim tax credits, then that way I wouldn’t have dwp on my case, i quite like doing it and it’s something I can do from home this doesn’t contradict anything that has got me into the support group.
if I asked could I do permitted work what happens do you phone up weekly tell them if you gone over the 131.50 if you have do they just deduct the extra out of my esa payment, does it affect housing if it went over 131.50 week, does anyone no of any hidden problems they have come across by doing permitted work, appreciate any info people might have, is it a good idea or does it end up a nightmare
thanks

If I had lost at my tribunal I was going to go on universal credit but self employed it was my only choice, as I can’t get out every day to go to a job. I did win esa tribunal and now I bought stuff to make the jewellery, if I get permission I was thinking of the permitted work route to see how they sold, so if I earned £150 one week Which took me £18.50 over what’s allowed for instance I’d loose a total weeks payment of esa not just the bit extra I’d gone over, do you need to pay national insurance on permitted work
thanks
Memorial jewellery sounds great, how did you get into making them?

If you have a few minutes to spare, we'd appreciate your feedback on our online community.
I had to have an esa assessment in September been getting esa for many years I scored 0 points and two weeks before Christmas they cancelled my money, I have severe mobility issues and some days I’m in agony, I couldn’t commit to universal credit in looking for work as I know some days I wouldn’t be able to make it, my daughter horse had died and she been thinking of getting a memorial piece of jewellery, so after giving myself a crash course off you tube I decided to make some and then if tribunal declined my esa, I would be ready to self employed work from home, it’s best I could come up with so I could claim universal credit help with rent my home was on line, I got a yes at tribunal so now all stuff I got would go to waste hence thinking of trying out permitted work, I need to know do you ring them up weekly and tell them what you have earned, I no it’s £131.50 a week if I earned 150 one week is it just the difference I loose out of esa or is it the full esa payment for that week, appreciate it if you no answer. I just started the dla to pip transfer so that could go tits up yet
thanks
