should i be on jsa.

red_devil

I am on jsa but i take medication for anxiety. I have never said anything to the jobcentre. I have been advised that i should do but wont they say why tell us now. Would i get esa and whats the difference. Could i end up getting nothing.

Thanks

To be honest this has come up all of a sudden since you got a interview, do you really not want to work? if so then you shouldn't be on Jobseekers.

Maybe apply for ESA and I am certain that yes your advisor will say why you didn't tell us this sooner.

Your advisor shouldn't be asking why didn't you tell us sooner, you can say it didn't occur to you. Or you didn't realise there were the benefits out there.

Then if they have any problem with your answer that's their issue, however you just make a claim for ESA and they will cancel your JSA should it need to be swapped.

Things like anxiety can just get worse. But what you actually need to be doing is looking at the criteria online for ESA.

If you think you meet that then apply, if you're not sure if you're medically fit or unfit go and speak to your GP and see what they think of the medical state.

As it's an 'ATOS' doctor who will usually make the decision, or as the DWP say they only provide input.

They are notorious for being very rushed, and bad at their job so if you apply, write as much information as you possibly can.

You would need to supply doctor's notes to claim ESA. You will also have to go for assessments with ATOS.
If you feel that your medication is not working then you should visit your doctor anyway.
The Job Centre will not make any allowances for your anxiety. They are only concerned that you fulfill your jobseeker's agreement.

Very helpful. There is no point in you posting.

Is that really necessary, can't you just keep your onanism to yourself?
