Can you work if claiming ESA and if it's under 16 hours a week without losing any housing benefit or benefits?

    Must be less than 16hours/week and not more than £152/week.

    You will retain full HB if still getting income based ESA.

    Whether or not CTR is affected will depend on the rules for your local authority.
