Hi I’ve been on long term sick since January with mental health and bulging discs in my back I still have my job it’s bank at the hospital I get LCWRA and ESA (the LCWRA comes off due to esa of course) but I am in the support group and pip £61 a week daily living allowance, I was wondering if I could work maybe 1 night shift a month (£191-197 before tax) not even every month just if I’m feeling up to it? Do I need to contact ESA? And will it effect any benefits thank you as always your amazing xx

For ESA you can do Permitted Work which must be less than 16 hours and earn not more than £153/week. You need to complete form PW1 to inform ESA.
There are no limits on UC.0 -
Thank you is the weekly allowance spread throughout the month? Just one night shift is about £190? But I would only be doing 1 a month?0

Looking at this

I think if you are paid monthly then your weekly earns will be treated as monthly x 12 / 52 regardless of the fact you are only working in one week of the month.0 -
