Hi
I am on Pip high level and ESA support group since Feb 2022 ( worked as nurse, got covid at work and ended up in a coma for 2months last aug/Sept ) when I woke up I couldn't walk talk move hands feet etc.
I want to publish a book which I've had an editor etc however I've just realised today that if anyone actually buys my book will I lose Esa.
I haven't recovered since last yr, on intermittent oxygen, need lot of assistance with daily life but I can talk now. Still Learning to walk, etc etc and have usual long covid symptoms.
Thanks for any advice

PIP isn’t affected. For the ESA you can do permitted work. Providing you earn less than £152/week working less than 16 hours/ week then your ESA will continue.
You need to tell ESA that your working.
