Hi, I'm on ESA support and full care PIP. I've been offered the opportunity to work in an office for just 3 hours a week. Does anyone know if this will screw things up for me ... thanks

PIP is not means tested.
You don't say what type of ESA you get but you are allowed to work less than 16 hours and earn no more than £143/week without it affecting your ESA. You will need to inform ESA.
Permitted work: factsheet - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK. -
Thanks it's income related.

Hi thanks, I'm nervous but excited. It's all those voices in your head I think.

I completely understand yes, I felt a bit nervous at the start of this week, I've started my new job as coordinator here on Monday! But everyone is so friendly I need not have worried.
I do hope you enjoy your time in the office, we'd love to have an update when you've settled inOnline Community Coordinator
