The Employment and Support Allowance (Exempt Work & Hardship Amounts) (Amendment) Regulations 2017
The Social Security (Incapacity for Work) (General) Regulations 1995, the Employment and Support Allowance Regulations 2008 and the Employment and Support Allowance Regulations 2013 limit the period for which claimants who are or who are treated as incapable of work or who have or who are treated as having limited capability for work (but not limited capability for work related activity) may undertake exempt work while continuing to be entitled to benefit. Under those Regulations, that period is limited to 52 weeks. As a result of the amendments in regulations 2 to 4, that limit is removed.
