Hi just needing some advice please. I’m currently on the sick from work and applied for pip which I was awarded standard living allowance only. I’m wanting to go bk to work but only for 16hrs a wk which is less than I was doin prior but due to my disability being worse now I’m not able to go bk to my original hrs. Just want to know that if I do return to work will that affect my pip benefit?

You can claim PIP working or not it’s not based on your working circumstances, but I guess if they think ur fit for work then they’ll think ur fit to do the daily activities as there a joke

Hi @Bella10 and welcomeAs long as the work you do does not conflict with the reasons for your PIP claim, then there should be no effect.Be all you can be, make every day count. Namaste

Welcome to the community @Bella10 how are you doing today?
On the Citizen Advice website, it says: You don't have to report the following changes because they don't affect whether you can get PIP or how much you get:being in work, returning to work or leaving work
changes in your earnings or other income
You can read more on Changes that affect your PIP here. Please keep us updated on how it goes, or if you have any questions please let us know.

It's not a means tested Benefit. So yes you can still work. I do, I can't take on manual tasks any more but I still work in the office at a desk. So I still pay our MP's their well deserved £80k + their expenses, a year through the Tax purse. Sorry for the sarcasmIf you fight, you won't always win. But if you don't fight you will always always lose.

To be fair I was Neva asked if I work or not. Wud they even know?

Thanku everyone you have all helped massively, been so anxious about everything. My job is also an office job with no manual jobs. ?

It all depends on the type of work you do.
Much like the question about driving. If you say you do then the assessor is likely to assume that you are more able and capable than what you claim to be.
