we would like some sort of advice as my brother cannot read, write , stand or sit for very long due to his knees , his doctor says that he cannot work and he is still being signed off sick, he had a appointment to day at the job centre which was a waste of time and he has to go back tomorrow with 3 jobs that he can do but finding 3 jobs he can do is very hard , he is in debt up to his eyes and risking loseing his house, this has happened since the esa assessment due to the goverments so called rules, so with out living on the streets what can he do for benefits , the only benefit he is getting is dla nothing else

Back to basics:

When was the original WCA, and when was the tribunal?
Did he provide his own medical evidence, and did he have help completing the form?
What descriptors do you feel he meets?
Does he have any savings, or other household income?
