ESA Support- Permitted Work
8 years 6 months ago #143665 by Gordon
OK! Let me try another way of describing it
I say "ignoring your PW" because this question is not about it, they are asking whether you are employed, I am guessing that your are not.
Some ESA claimants have never worked because there conditions have prevented them doing so.
Some ESA claimants, the vast majority, have worked but no longer can because of their conditions and have lost their jobs,
Some ESA claimants have stopped working because they are unable to do so, but are still employed although they may no longer receiving any pay.
It is this latter group that the question is referring to and whether it applies to you.

I don't have a job in any meaningful sense, but I am doing some PW. When I phoned up DWP they said that if I am doing some work at home then I have a job and that is what I should fill in.
