Wonder if anyone knows how you move from jobseeker

Wonder if anyone knows how you move from jobseekers to something like ESA if you have become too ill to work.

Hi,

Welcome to Benefits and Work

If your forum name is also your real name, you may wish to change it to maintain some anonymity.

This can be done quite easily by following the instructions on this FAQ :

My full name is showing, how can I stop it?

With respect to your query on how to claim ESA, you first need to obtain a Med 3 "fit note" from your G.P.

You can then make an application for ESA, see : Here.

There is an "Understanding ESA Guide", 2nd link down this page :

ESA Claims Guides

Whist on that page you may also like to have a look though our other ESA Claims Guides.

See also our : ESA FAQ’s

The forum is now closing to new posts until 2 PM on Monday afternoon.

If you have any further queries, you can return to this topic and pose them on Monday.

We will do our best to help.

You can still access all the guides and forum posts over the weekend. (24/7)
