    Hi,
    PIP isn't means tested so earnings don't affect that.
    For ESA they can do permitted work but they must make sure they work less than 16 hours per week and earn less than £143 per week (£152 from April 2022).
    They must tell DWP they are working and will need to fill out the PW1 form.
    If the work they do contradicts the reasons why they are claiming both benefits, then it could go against them when they are next reassessed.

    Hello @Chris_shallal and welcome to the community, thanks for joining. 

    I've just moved your post over into our benefits and financial support category, so it's easier for our members to advise you. 

    Has poppy's reply answered your query, or is there anything that's still not making sense for you?
