Working whilst in ESA support group

I am currently in the ESA support group I might be able to work c15hpw ie staying under the permitted work limit of c£200. If I do, do I stay in the support group or do I get switched to the work related group, with the resultant drop in money?

    From my experience you stay in the support group. You must inform them of the work you undertake (I did this by phone and then completing the form they send you in the post).

    You stay in the Support Group until/unless you are reassessed at some point and have a different outcome.

    As above, you must notify them of starting work.

    Be very careful to keep an eye on earnings because you're very close to the limit.
