Hi guys . i started work in jan after a lengthy period on incapacity.... i was signed off till aug after medical but went back as felt i had to try...

however being a sales job i have had a relapse due to the pressure , abuse and constant mind games....

On thursday i resigned and went to doctors who has given me 2 week sick line....

I called jobcentre plus today and registered that left job as not fit to work it and will post 2 week line in

Can i go on to job seeker allowance after this 2 weeks cause i dont want to go on slippy slope again and will look at another field apart from sales???????

Yes
You'll need to ring 0800 055 6688 to claim JSA, which is the same number to claim IB.

i have done it but after leaving job due to illness can i all of a sudden after a 2 week sick line go on to jobseekers????

Yes- If your GP agrees with you that you are fit to actively seek work.

You can, but you will still be asked the reason why you left your job.

I have replied to your PM, hope it helps x

i resigned cause i am under so much pressure i am not sleeping at night and back on anti-depr again so only option was to resign and go on sick.... i know its the type of work that is instigating it all.... but when all you have done is sales im in catch 22 ....

i could never work in an office it would drive me up the wall confined and controlled enviroment.;..
