PIP isn't an out of work benefit; so you are free to work if you want. However, why you claim can't contradict your job.
If you're on ESA, you can do permitted work. -
Hi @allypally
Welcome to our website and online community.
I have attached some info on "PIP" for you.

I will also forward your post onto our "Benefit Advisor's"
I hope that this is ok
Hi @BenefitsTrainingCo
Sorry but I have got another PIP post that I need some help with !!!!!
Sorry !!!! -
As above, PIP is for help with extra costs caused by being disabled and it completely separate from work. Except if you say tell PIP people you can't stand and you are working stood up all day with ease etc.

Hi @mossycow
Yes The More You Do The Less You Get
Please keep me up to date if you don't mind !!!!
If there is anything else that l can help you with please please let me know !!!! -
Hi allypally,
Just to confirm the above advice, permitted work is work you can do whilst claiming ESA. There is no limitation as to the work you can do whilst claiming PIP only, but like the others have said, if you are able to do some work because your condition has improved then you should tell the DWP so they can reassess your entitlement to PIP.
