ESA income based and permitted work

mercedes125

if you are on ESA income based and you don't recieve any payments because your partner earns over the amount stated , but you get National insurance credits paid can you do permitted work and get the payment of £115 if you work less than 16hrs.

Thankyou

Very difficult to find any up to date information on this but as far as I am aware you can do Permitted Work if you have an NI credits claim only.

Since you have to have the DWP's approval to do Permitted Work why don't you just telephone them and ask for the form to complete? At the same time you can check that you are eligible to do it whilst on an NI claim only.

i dont understand what you mean by 'get the payment of £115'

this amount is what you are allowed to earn whilst keeping you ESA claim live.

it isn't money paid as a benefit to those who do permitted work.
