I have a serious mental illness. I cannot work , am on esa income based support and other benefits like a pip. My wife is my carer and receives carers allowance.
Her job looking after me is over 35 hours a week but she has time to organise others to do online selling for a small business she can set up. It is what she did before I became ill and she wants to try this again . We checked with Citizens Advice and as long as her work does not affect her hours she needs to care for me, she can do this extra work.
But will I lose my ESA if she starts this work,? CAB think she can earn up to £132 per week but we are not so sure. Advice please!
