ESA ended left in the cold

ANOIF

Hello I’m not sure what to do my ESA has ended I’m on my own not working full time but been doing permitted work to ease back into work full time.
That’s now ended too and have been unsuccessful with latest job hunt .. although they’d be happy for me to volunteer which is a option til I get work.
No idea what to do next is it now jobseekers for me or universal credit til I get a job ?
Really worried any advice welcome and thank you in advance.

Why has your ESA ended?

It may be worth a trip to your local advice centre / CAB with your recent paperwork, to see what they suggest.

Are you in a UC area?

Do you get Housing Benefit? Have you completed a nil income form at your HB office?

I might be wrong but I think it's now UC for all the UK since a few weeks ago?

Yes as far as I'm aware all areas had moved to full service (for new claims) as of Wednesday just gone, 12th December 2028 I think.
