Permitted work

Hi
Just wondered about this situation - hope you can help.

If someone was in the support group and they asked to do i.e. 10 hours permitted work per week would it:
a) Cause their ESA to be re-looked at
b) Cause their DLA to be immediately looked at even though it would all be within defined parameters.

Thanks

Hi L,

a) It may do, if the duties involved in any PW were in contradiction with the limitations that gave you The SG award.

Further, at any future reassessment, the ATOS HCP would be aware of any PW that you may be doing.

b)DLA in an "In work benefit", and one could work full time whilst in receipt of DLA.

However, again as with ESA, (Which is an "out of work benefit") if any duties involved in the work were in contradiction to the walking limitations and/or care needs that gave you The DLA award, it could have an adverse effect.

Have a look at this topic from yesterday regarding PW and ESA :
