  I did this on the PW1 trying to get permission in advance as MrsHurtyBack suggested, but was told by decision maker that they can't make a decision in advance. 
 Then I remembered the date on PW1 form is for 'when have you or 
will you be starting'.. so why can't they can me a decision in advance. 

 I'm autisitic so like things in black and white.. 

 I arranged to speak to another decision maker who gave me verbal assurances what I had described I wanted to do (work on computer at home).. so long as under £120 and 16 hrs p/w, that I should just start and then do another PW1. 
 Is this all about right? 
 But today a random ESA payment seems more than coincidental and I'm worried they've done something mental
