ESA (IR) Self Employed

Evening all,

Asking for advice (trouble??) on behalf of our accountant..
After being granted ESA IR Support Group (and Full Pip) a few years ago, after being totally refused for over two years because HMRC - DWP Computer 'glitch'.... Who'dve thought!
Hence don't want to re poke a hornet's nest.

I'm after a bit of advice as to our conundrum...

I am/was self employed, alongside two other partners, who continue to run the business. My situation is that as I live at the business premises and occasionally answer the phone etc, but don't do anything like enough to get involved in 'permitted work' etc.
After several loss making years , this year looks like showing a modest profit, which had thrown up a couple of questions I need advice on.

The accountant wants to allocate me approx £1000 of the profit, to keep things looking 'safe' business wise. However it throws up a couple of potential queries...
1
If I take this profit, does mean I'm 'working?'
2
If I can , could he potentially allocate more of the profits to use up my tax allowances? and if so, how much is my Esa reduced?
I assume my Esa is 'taxable income' but pip is exempt?
As the accounts are for '18/'19 hence nearly a year behind , and it looks like being a one off 'readjustment' I really dont want to trigger any more complications, we only got it sorted originally because he threatened 'em with Ombudsman.

We're of the opinion of 'letting sleeping dogs lie'

Ps.
I don't claim housing benefit, even though I'm eligible,
I can't afford to heat the house , still paying off debts accrued when I couldn't work and couldn't access ESA (worked for 36 years full on, always thought the Welfare State would 'honour it's commitments,....we did!!!)

How naive!


TIA
