Working whilst in support group

Hello, I am claiming UC and new style ESA. I have just been placed in the support group so I do not actively have to look for work. However, I feel that if I could find something to do from home it would keep the brain ticking over. My body has given up but not the brain!! If I could ever find something to do for a few hours a week, would I be allowed? And what impact would it have on my benefits? I'm 60 and I live alone.
Thank you. PS does anyone know of anything I could do from home???

Hi @bigmomma
Citizen's advice has some useful information about work you can do while receiving ESA. I hope this helps! -
