Hi,

There's no such thing as "ESA support allowance." If you mean you've been placed into the Support Group then no, you don't need to send any further fit notes.

You need to tell DWP that you're working 15 hours per week, if you haven't already. Permitted work rules will apply and you'll need to make sure you work less than 16 hours per week and earn no more than £143 per week.
