Selling items from hobby

If my daughter sells the items she makes as a hobby in order to afford more materials will she have to declare this to the dwp? Will it affect her esa at all? She's in the support group.

As the government's website says, you can work so long as it's not more than 16 hours a week, & you don't earn more than £143 a week, so it sounds like your daughter will be fine as this is a hobby, not self employment (which the DWP would have to be informed about).
