Hi has anyone done this please? I would like to try but worried they would reassess PIP or ESA which is a stressful process.

Do you need to tell the employer?
Do they reassess you?

Any experiences welcome. Thanks Flowers

DH did it for several months. He didn’t lose his PIP or ESA. It was fine. You do need to complete a form. The scope info on the link below is more detailed than the Gov info.

Thanks, do you know if your DH's was supported work - there is a space on the form for this.

No. It wasn’t supported work, even though he has a disability due to health. He wasn’t supervised in any way.
