However, any work you do is _NOT_ automatically treated as permitted work.
It can be, if they choose to do so, but otherwise not.

If you're doing any work, you should fill in the permitted work form.

Was the work being done something that would normally be paid?

Just because you didn't get paid doesn't mean there's no problem.
Effectively the taxpayer is supplementing your friends enterprise by paing you so that they do not need to.

Would you work for free if you didn't get benefits and had no money coming in?

:cool:

Well, what are the chances...!

Your neighbour reports you for working while on benefits and the allegation has no founding at all - completely fabricated.

Then he goes to an event and there you are, working, completely out of the blue - a one off!!

Something smells fishy to me! Are you sure you're not being economical with the truth?

You're claiming benefits because of your anxiety which means you cant go out or be around people yet you are caught working on a fairground ride? last time i went to a bonfire/firework do it was chocker with people. I will no doubt get slated for this but i honestly think that in a lot of cases anxiety/depression is being used as an excuse to get benefits in the same way as people in the 80's/90's used the bad back syndrome.

Anxiety is up and down though. There are good and bad days. I was on ESA for anxiety and depression for 4 month (I work full-time now) I am working full-time now and am fully able, but still get anxious days. Besides one of the anxiety question on the ESA forms are something along the lines of. "Can you go to a unfamiliar face alone(or without assistance)" can't remember which.

Her friend is a familiar face.

I suspect that the quotation you've given should actually read "place". The familiarity of the friend's face is irrelevant.

Even if it supposed to say 'face', I can't imagine many of the riders were familiar to them, and I'm not sure simply closing the gate and taking off is an option on a busy fairground ride!!

Seems amazing to me the amount of things some people suffering from anxiety and depresion can find the strength to do as long as it's not in a legitimate work situation. I'd imagine a fairground or the like to be one of the most horendous places for someone suffering from this disorder to be in, all the hussle and bussle, noise, kids screaming, loud music, strange people etc.
I'm in the mind that the OP isn't telling the entire story...

The story is exactly as told. The past 3 times there has been a complaint made, they tried to say i was away repairing computers (was once my job around 8 years ago), which was sorted out. The bonfire night was a favour for a friend as i said, i was down there with my partner and kids anyway and it's only a small town so not majorly busy. The display only ran from 7 till 9 and i was there for the first hour, any longer and i probably would have a problem as it's at that time you get the half drunk teenagers down.

As for using anxiety as an excuse, c'mon. I already stated this was the first time i've been out in months (last time was probably February), the rest of the time i sit within my four walls.
