if he has limited capability for work, then he needs to claim ESA. not to sure of the rate because i know younger people get less, but it is more than JSA ( after the assessment period)

thanks hes signed on jsa now but im sure hes not going to be able to apply for 6 jobs a fortnight they werent very helpful at the job centre how does he go about this ?
he gets dla middle rate

seven-day-weekend

Internet, Jobcentre, Newspapers, CV into various employers? Six a fortnight is not much. Putting his CV in or answering an advert will count as 'applying'.

i would make a claim for esa because if he is able to work then he will be put in the able to work with support group, he clearly needs support at work

have you tried asda?

what things can he do?
