ESA permitted work

hi, I’ve been in the support group on esa for a while and have been following the pw1 discussions. I’m in Northern Ireland and I’m wondering if it works the same as the mainland. If I am currently only considering a little work but not yet actually tried to see if I’m able, if I submit a pw1 form will esa come back to me with whether or not it’s ok for me to do that?

 Thanks

    Northern Ireland benefit systrem is a bit different. PW process should be similar, but I would suggest going into local Job Centre about this, as they can advise on local support available. The principle is to encourage people to try employment they might cope with.

    The comments I post are personal opinion. Always refer to official information sources before relying on internet forums. If you have a problem with any organisation, enter into their official complaints process at the earliest opportunity, as sometimes complaints have to be started within a certain time frame.
