Has anyone lost benefits doing 'Permitted Work'?

Many thanks for your responses.

I will tread even more carefully now.

I'm so angry at this ridiculous system - they make it so black and white (capable or incapable) when in fact, there are many shades in between. When are they going to apply some intelligence, and realise that penalising people for trying is NOT in the public interest?!

If someone said on ESA form that they needed constant verbal encouragement at home to do these tasks and repeated same at the medical should they not, will they score points for ESA?

I think you are referring to the Memory and Concentration test, unfortunately this is one of the tests that was dropped when the new WCA was introduced, there is no equivalent.
