Raise the maximum weekly work allowance for ESA Claimants.

I have been living on ESA for many years because of my Asperger's Syndrome, and being able to do only 16 hours a week at minimum wage is difficult to live on in today's growing economy. Please raise this limit maybe to 20 hours at the least, or raise the pay restriction.
