I was offered a part-time job with a 12 hour contract I know I really need 16 have been on esa/ib all my life due to mental health problems.
the job I was offered said there should be 16 hours available regularly but not always. Went to tell ingeus they instantly told me to take it apply for back to work credit and working tax credits. I stupidly phoned on Friday saying I wanted to sign off the starting the job the next day. They said they would phone me back between then and Monday. The problem is now I went in for my first day and I don't think there as many hours as they promised. And this has made me very stressed about benefit entitlement and have i been signed off over the phone can I reclaim esa if I have also how will it affect my housing benefit. I am really stressed and feel like I'm losing it and help would be really appreciated.
