What is classed as permitted work?

edited September 2021 in Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
Hi Everyone. I have been receiving contribution based esa since April and have not had a work assessment yet. I sent a copy of my uc lcwra letter to the dwp as suggested previously on here but have heard nothing back yet. I feel like I could manage a couple of hours, spread over a week, of book keeping at home again. Would this be classed as permitted work? I cannot find anywhere a list of work allowed. I would only be paid £20 per week.
Thanks in advance for any help.

    Wheh claiming both NsESA and UC there is only one WCA. There's no financial gain when claiming both together though but your ESA pays class 1 NI credits and UC pays class 3.
    For ESA the permitted work rules are that you must make sure that you work less than 16 hours per week and earn no more than £143 per week. There's no specific list of what work is allowed. Providing the work you do doesn't contradict the reasons why you're claiming ESA.
    As you're claiming UC as well then you will need to report the changes onto your journal. You will have a work allowance which means you can earn either £293 if you claim for help with the rent or £515 if you don't, before any deductions will be made on your UC.

    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.
