You can dip your toe in the water by doing Permitted Work, there's a guide in the ESA section that explains what this means. If you have more questions, then reply to this post and we will do our best to help.

Starting PW should not initiate a reassessment of your claim proving the work that you are doing is not clearly at odds with the reasons that you receive ESA, but it will be considered when you are reassessed and could have a negative impact.
