Must I inform each time I start another job even if it matches the PW specifications?

Hi,

I'm on ESA support group and have just started back in work. I have submitted the PW form. 
My question is, must I inform each time I start another job even if it matches the PW specifications?

    Ideally you should keep them informed. Do make sure you work less than 16 hours per week and earn no more than £152/week after deductions.

    I've been on ESA support group since 2013, I know the drill. Any idea of the best/easiest way to inform them? Hi and thanks yes again Poppy

    Before you start any work, whether paid or unpaid, you should fill in a PW1 form. Post it to the address at the top of any ESA letters we have sent you.

    What happens if the work you do contradicts the reason you’re claiming?

    When you have a re-assessment it can go against you.

    Bluefox was just asking a question and bg844 was answering their question, that’s why they quoted their comment.
