Sign off ESA?

I've been offered a 3 month contract its only 8 hours a week but I should probably now sign off ESA as i'm doing better with my depression/ anxiety. How do I sign off ESA?

    Is this under 95 pounds a week?
    If so, it may be possible to do it under 'permitted work' on ESA.
    If your condition has permanently improved, then you should of course tell them.
    If you move directly into work from ESA, you might be eligible for back-to-work bonuses, but only if it's >16h/week IIRC.
  • I think I am getting better and will have to sign of ESA soon. I guess I could claim JSA but I would rather have no dealing with the Job Centre and Ingeus.

    P.S. I did write a bigger reply (twice) but the internet seems to be eating my posts.
