I too had to go court for ESA but when I was signing for Jobseekers they deducted that period. because you cant have two benefits if you apply for the other one and you are in court you supposed to wait for its decision. go to CAB citizens advice bureau. dont really on my issue because it may be different to you. Go CAB you find out everything. Although i applied for Jobseekers with the advice of CAB so what do they know lol

    NorbiNorbi,

    If your ESA is worth more than your JSA (jobseeker's allowance) then you would get the difference for the period you were claiming JSA. But if your ESA is worth the same amount (which for some people, it is), then there wouldn't be any extra benefit payable for that period. Hope that helps.

    Will
