How can you help me to find a job without standing for long periodHI and welcome.I see that you're claiming ESA. Is this a single or joint claim? If it's a joint claim are you the main claimant or is your partner the main one, with you added onto the claim?I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
I am the claimant
I am married with 4 children
Living in same house
That is mean joint claim -

That is mean joint claimAs you are the claimant then you can do permitted work BUT it must be less than 16 hours per week and earn a maximum of £131.50 after deductions and keep all of your existing benefits. You must fill out the PW1 form and get permission from DWP before doing any work.Please also be aware that if the work you do contradicts the reasons why you're claiming ESA then you could be reassessed early and it could go against you once the decision's been made.See link for permitted work.
