HI, i am a person who is claiming DLA indefinately AND ESA support group for mental health problems i have paranoid schizophrenia but i am currently stable on my medication, i go to college part time under 16hrs a week and i do voluntary work 2.5 hrs a week, i am on my second year doing higher and i was hoping to do full time HNC next year,
can you tell me if i am still entitled to my benefits while stable? can you tell me if i can do permitted work myself while stable? can you tell me if i can do full time HNC course without it affecting ESA, DLA OR PIP? and can you tell me if there is a video for the mentally ill explaining the processes of changing from DLA to PIP?
ESA is for people who cannot work due to disability or illness. If you are stable enough to work full time then you would no longer qualify. You are entitled to DLA if you need care, so if you no longer need regular care you would no longer qualify. You can do permitted work in the support group but can only earn up to £95. You can also study full time as you are on DLA.
