freelance work & ESA was created by justjuls
I have CFS/ME for 11 years and for a while worked p/time. Last year I had bad relapse, applied for ESA, got it. Had to stop my freelance work due to ill health. ATOS of course found me 'fit to work' in October. I am appealing. Can I now do odd bits of freelance work? DWP website says 'permitted work' in agreement with your personal advisor. I have no personal advisor. My health and therefore ability to work is 'up and down'.
Help this newbie, please!

Anything you are thinking of doing has to be covered by the heading "Permitted Work", you can read about this on the following site and in a B@W guide in the Work section of the Members area.
