It apparently is ok as i spoke to hmrc regarding it , i fill in a tax return every year even though i only work part time atm plus pay my own ni . Unfortunately though im sure my boss who is lovely would like to pay me if im off it would be out of his own pocket as he is commission based then staff wages come out of his wages x
That’s great. And since you pay NI, I’m pretty sure you’ll get ESA. So maybe you can afford to step away for a bit.
