New style esa was created by Lilnickynics83
Hi.
I am receiving new style esa support group. I am still employed with the job I was in before my illness. They are accepting sicknotes. Can I (if I start to feel able) be able to work 5 hrs a week? Or would the benefit stop?
Obviously I don’t know how I will get on & then have to fight for my benefit back.
Many thanks

Hi Lilnickynics83

Your question is quite straightforward but the answer is not, as there are lots of variables, to get an accurate answer contact your local Welfare Rights Organisation; advicelocal.uk

Permitted work allows you to try out work within certain limits and remain entitled to ESA.

You must inform the DWP that you are due to start permitted work; use the form PW1; www.gov.uk/government/publications/emplo...-permitted-work-form

There are 3 types of permitted work;

1) Permitted work lower limit
2) Permitted work higher limit
3) Supported permitted work

As stated earlier seek help from your local Welfare Rights Organisation.
