Hi, my name is chrisnstel! My partner receives ESA. How many hours is she allowed to work?

Hi, my partner receives esa and is on the lowest disability rate. Does anyone know how many hours she is allowed to work before it affects her benefits? She has been offered a job but its 20 hours a week. Thanks

The permitted work rules are here

20 hours of work is outside the permitted work limits and will end entitlement to ESA.

But the earnings limit needs to be taken into account too - all as detailed in the link I posted on 23rd February.

Its 140 pounds a week allowed.
