    I will only earn £112 a week 
    I didn’t think it would be an immediate problem. Just wanted to make sure you are aware of the rules in case you have an opportunity to increase hours etc. Note also that for ESA permitted work you are supposed to notify DWP before starting the work as described on the link I provided.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.

    Thank you so much that’s so helpful.  I’ve filled in the form to send off tomorrow to let them know I intend to go to work.  It’s all happened at once.  The job fell in my lap and wasn’t planned. It I’m desperate to do something xx

    I'm glad you've been able to get some good advice here @son_hawley :) Just to let you know: I've edited your picture slightly to remove a couple of details, just to be on the safe side.
