in Disability money matters
Hi, I was looking at getting back into work. Would I be better in or out of work.

I've tried using an online calculator but it's very confusing

I get HR Mobility and LR Care, I get ESA and I am in WRAG

Could anybody please help, I was looking at starting part time to get me back in slowly

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

    Remember that your PIP/DLA will still be payable. Presumably the job doesn't contradict the reason you get it.

    No. I am just wondering because it says less than 16 hours but most part time jobs say 16 hours So I am wondering the money difference between the 2, would they take a small cut out of the ESA?

    To try out if work suits you could try permitted work.

    I don't know what this means though. It's rather confusing

    Do I just find a job, and let DWP know?
