He got a call today to say his payments have stopoed even though he has a current sick note till 19feb. He had a mefical for the esa they have deemed hjm fit for work.  He was told to apply for jsa even though the surgeon said no.he was self employed

Hi @zippydog and welcome

I'm sorry to hear about your son's difficulties. With regards to advice and support, the community benefits advisor may be a good place to start, as well as the ESA category.

I hope this is helpful. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask.
