Hi, my name is Scotslady2027! Can I do permitted work on ESA and UC?

Hi @Scotslady2027, you can do up to 16 hours of permitted work each week on ESA. There's some information about that here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/employment-and-support-allowance-permitted-work-form/permitted-work-factsheet

It's worth bearing in mind whether the work you're doing might contradict the reasons for claiming health-related benefits. For example, if someone stated they have serious back pain and struggled with walking but then worked as a bricklayer, that would likely cause some issues. But you can still work if you're feeling up to it, you would just need to let them know ☺️
