New ESA claim while already doing permitted work
Hi
Presuming you can get a fit note can you make a new ESA claim while working within permitted work limits?
Any problems getting ESA to accept the claim, we know would have difficulty passing WCA but that aside can it be done?
Cheers
We’ve certainly had examples of this happening and the claim hasn’t been a problem - there’s no bar to claiming if the work is within the limits. You’re right to be cautious about how it will be looked at for the WCA but that hopefully can be overcome with some decent evidence/care with what goes on the ESA50.
