I have been asked to take part in some research for RIDC but I do not know if this would affect my contributory ESA and the work capability rules. As a payment is made for taking part and also involves travelling for a few hours. Will I need to contact the DWP and advise them of this research. Thank You.

    Hello there @carolten and thanks for reaching out, I'm not entirely sure on the answer for this myself, so for now I've moved your post into our Benefits and Financial Support category, where it'll be easier for our members to share their thoughts.

    Hi @carolten Long time no speak! I hope you are keeping well.

    I wondered how you got on in this situation? Did you take part in the research and inform the DWP?

    It would be great to know how things went. Take care.
