Ok, so i was in hospital for 4 years due to paranoid schizophrenia but now back in the community taking medication,
I get anxiety and lots of tiredness from my meds therefore cannot work part or full time at the moment
However, i have started volunteer work of 2 hours per week, usually with a care worker.
Do you think i will lose much money or not ? My claim started last year for ESA and PIP and im in the support group
thanks ! :j

I've worked and or been a student for all but a couple of years of the 2 decades i've claimed DLA or PIP, it's a benefit intended to help you lead the life you choose despite disabilities, working and income has no effect. Unless as Poppy says what you do makes it clear that your claim is incorrect (working as a builder whilst apparently being bed bound for example)
good luck0 -
