wanting to do a bit of work

hi, recently i have been doing a bit better and i was wondering if i could try and get a part time job or something,

i am in the support group of esa and receive premiums as well and i was wondering if you could tell me what to do? i am scared that i will lose money and that my mental health will again decline but i really want to do something, i also receive dla middle rate care and low rate mobility,

is there anyway i can do this without it affecting my benefits?

hi, i am receiving esa support group and i was wondering if i was able to get permitted work, how to do that and what types of work can i do? and would they know what type of work i was doing?

thanks

Hi Alfie,

You are allowed to undertake 'permitted work' and still keep your ESA. However, the rules surrounding what is counted a permitted work are rather grey and it is important that you get DWP permission before you start. Doing this should not trigger a reassessment but you should be aware that undertaking any form of work could count against you when you are next assessed.

Permitted Work

I have joined your 2 identical threads together. Whilst the forum is now open 24/7 for reading, searching and posting new comments, new posts still have to wait until they are cleared by a moderator before they are made public. Moderators are only guaranteed to be available between 2-4 and 8-10 Monday to Friday. Please do not post duplicate comments as it just slows down the moderators when they are on-line

thanks for the reply,

can you tell me what you think i should do?

i think i might be able to do a little work and it would have to be tailored to my needs

i have schizophrenia and now GAD but i still think i could do something, i want to do something i think, i want to try anyway i think so can you help me?

Hi a,

Do you have a Support Worker, or a CPN, maybe they could help you with this ?

Failing that, : Mind might be able to advise you further.

Your local Jobcentre Plus may also have a Disability Adviser.

I would try and gain some advice and support on this before you commit to anything, as it can be complicated in some cases.
