I assume that you are referring to DLA

Claimants are not required to notify the DWP is they start work (including volunteering), providing that their doing so is not at odds with their stated limitations when they were last assessed for the benefit.

As you are receiving Higher Rate Mobility then you need to ask yourself whether the journey to and from the shop and any time you might spend standing is consistent with your being considered virtually unable to walk.
