    Can I be made to look for work while awaiting for assessment on esa, 
    Looking on line if you just claim UC they can make you look for work even if you putting in fit notes, 
    Yes they can but they probably will not.
    At the moment everything is different 
    They would not, in most cases, in normal times either.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.

    Based on this thread https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6189999/made-redundant-having-to-claim-uc-as-a-couple#latest you will have no work search requirements because of your wife’s earnings. Therefore you will not be sanctioned for failing to meet them.
