You may be able to do the work under the Permitted Work rules so you really need to contact the DWP about it first. Ring the DWP office dealing with your claim.

Whilst your doing this work should not result in a reassessment of your claim, doing it will be considered the next time you are, so you need to be very sure that it does not conflict with the limitations that have resulted in your SG award in the first place.

If the work is not classed as PW then doing it can result in your ESA claim being closed.
