I have a job. Yeay!

I am on ESA, have been for 3 years now, have done a trial at a job to see how I can cope with the work and it’s going ok (very very tired and some ligament problems but hoping to push through and keep going) but I don’t know the right protocol of what to do about the benefits. When I give all my details for their accountant does that cover all bases and stop the benefits or do I have to inform them myself?

thankyou.
