...what might happen to my benefits ? I have mental health problems, some minor brain damage and kidney problems and have never worked, but I do some paitnings in oils, which is about all I can do. So, if I sold one, as you can put them on some online galleries, how would it affect my benefits ?

    Hi Peter, I think you are allowed to earn a certain amount before it affects your benefits but best to check with benefit agency or citizens advise.

    Hi are you in the UK .if you are I would advise you to get advice from the Citizens Advice Bureau it's all completely free and they more than likely could do that over the phone for you
