ESA Vs. JSA - Being made redundant

You can claim ESA without a MED3 - the claim will be processed - you just wont get paid without medical evidence and your claim can be closed if it isnt provided within six weeks.

Whilst technically it may be possible, in my experience claiming without the supporting medical evidence at time of claim often proves to cause greater issues. It often results in a rejection letter based on lack of supporting medical evidence and delay in trying to rectify. It is far more sensible to get the sick/fit note first.

Not really, there is no rejection letter for not supplying medical evidence, aside from that which I referenced above.

I have decided to go for JSA as I want to find another job as soon as possible.

I have clients who have been rejected for this very reason. Can only go from what information has been passed to me.
