If you are having thoughts of suicide, it is important that you discuss them with someone who is qualified to help. Please call the Samaritans on 116 123 (free) or email them at [email protected]
You might also benefit from reading MIND’s information on how you can help yourself.
If you feel that you may be an immediate danger to yourself, please call 999 or go to your local hospital right away.
Also if you are on HB CTR make sure to let them know you are on reduced income!
What if there is no JSA? it could be UC. Making a new claim can take just as long before you will see any money and it can really screw things up when they expect you to look for work. And it gives the DWP another excuse to refuse paying ESA when you state you are fit for work.
And how long will that take to come through?
