ESA Support Group and Voluntary work

This request has been withdrawn by the person who made it. There may be an explanation in the correspondence below.

Dear Department for Work and Pensions,

I wonder if you could possibly help me. I am a severely disabled person on ESA Support, but I am lucky enough to be able to drive a Motability Wheelchair Access Vehicle. I have been told by Motability that I can no longer renew my Lease for a new vehicle unless I am employed or do 12 hours voluntary work a week out side my home.

The question I would like to ask is, Are severely disabled people who are in ESA Support Group allowed to do 12 hours voluntary work at week without it affecting their benefit?

Yours faithfully,

F.Williams
