To get SSP, you must earn more than £107 a week.If you cannot get SSP, for example, because you do not earn enough your employer will give you form SSP1 and tell you why. You can use form SSP1 to claim ESA from your local Jobcentre Plus office if you are not entitled to SSP
You will still be eligible for HB.
