Hi, I am going to go back to see how I feel. I will be doing part no more than ten hours a week. I have told job centre about this. How will this affect my esa? I am in the support group for esa. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
Nicole

Hope it goes well @n31, and I hope the page on permitted work is helpful!Permitted work higher limit
This allows you to earn up to £125.50 a week, after tax and National Insurance deductions, without affecting your benefit, if you are getting ESA or Universal Credit disability elements or National Insurance credits because of incapacity for work. The work must be for less than 16 hours a week. It can be for an unlimited period.

Hi,You need to get permission from DWP (not the job centre) before starting any work. Permitted work is allowed and you'll need to fill out the PW1 form before starting the work.Do be aware that if the work you do contradicts the reasons you're claiming ESA this could go against you when you're next re-assessed.Good luck with working and i hope it goes well.0
