But going on to JSA will given the help he needs to get back into work.

Unlikely. You get very little help on JSA until you've been unemployed for over a year when they pass you over to an outside company who help you On JSA you just turn up once a fortnight, get your 'job search record' checked and you're out again in 7 minutes, no actual help other than money :mad:

As for the OP, he should only sign on if he's actively looking for work. If he's depressed he should go to a doctor. Although I do think you're on a wind up looking for a bit of benefits bashing or something

First things first, if he hasn't so already get him to see his GP. They can decide if he is actually clinically depressed or "just a bit down". With that knowledge depending on the severity he either needs to apply for JSA (if fit for work) or ESA(if signed off as unfit for work).
