                    Hi wondering if anyone can shed any light on my situation. 
I went to the JC after losing my job for health reasonswhich i told the lady i had the appt with. She told me she would open a claim online then i had to go to get a drs note and claim esa which i did. However, I have received a letter dated 24.10.24 saying i had been awarded JSA which i presume is as a result of the first appt at the JC on 23.10.24
I applied for ESA on 28.10.24. Does this mean the benefit will automatically change?
