I am in pain 24/7 due fibromalgia depression etc. They said I can claim jsa but like I said to them what employers are going to hire me when I could be off work for 2/4 days or more with pain. It is awful u am also worrying has my husband is receiving test for his illness and it is stressing me out

I'm no expert but saw no one replied yet and so felt bit sorry for you getting no replies. All I can suggest is CAB if you can get to one. And appeal to DWP about their decision. Good luck.
