Well, I actually have an intermediate NVQ in IT.

(not sure how that compares to the ''level 2 IT course with Vision2learn'' and the ECDL mentioned earlier?)

Unofficially, NVQ is generally regarded as "Not Very Qualified" by many employers.....

yeah, I kind of gathered that from my 100+ rejection emails

I think short term i'll have to look into getting on jobseekers allowance
as I can't seem to get ANY kind of job, never-mind an office based role (how much savings is the max i'm allowed to still qualify for JSA??) and then talk to my doctor again a little down the line and see If I can get benefits (ESA).

If you resign from your job and try to claim JSA you will almost certainly be sanctioned. However, I know you said in your first post that you are expecting the company to fold and if that happens and you are made redundant, then you won't be sanctioned.

I the 1st post "Doctor thinks i'm depressed and wants me on medication" and later mention of exploring benefits options (ESA). Is this attitude somehow getting across to prospective employers?
