CB based ESA was created by Catwoman64
I've been on ESA for a couple of years as I am in the support group. During the last year I had a telephone compliance interview followed by the Capability to work form.
This process made my depression and anxiety considerably worse.
I have recently received notice of another telephone compliance interview. To try and prevent my mental health plummeting further I have found 8 hours per week of work.
I'm now worried about whether I can cope with this physically and mentally. I don't know what to do anymore. I can't face any further harassment from DWP but neither can I afford to lose my £80 ESA.
I can see myself declining further with each day that passes.

Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explains where everything is

Welcome to Benefits and Work

Do the DWP know about the work and have they agreed that it falls with the Permitted Work rules?
