Coming off ESA

Hi, I know this is probably a stupid question, but how does my son come off ESA? Is there a phone number I need to ring for him or does he need to go to the Job Centre? The last time I attempted t get in touch with number on letter we were put on hold for 15 minutes only to be told we had to call another number!

He can write to them at the address on the ESA letters.
Or phone the number on the letters (do this on tuesday-thursday at 10AM or so).
Or he can simply claim JSA.
However.
If he has been on ESA for a long time - 6 months - he may be eligible for return-to-work benefits.
So it's best to get work directly from ESA.

If of course there has been a major change in his condition, you need to let them know about this.0 -
Why does he want to come off, ie has he returned to work or is looking at claiming JSA?0
