ESA
Hi new to all this ....my husband has been on statuatory sick pay since mid Feb...should he be applying for esa now as his sick note does not run out till October. I'm sure he won't be fit to go back then either. Thanks for any advice in advanced 😀

Is your husband likely to have long term health problems that will affect his daily life? If so, he might want to look at claiming Personal Independence Payment. There is some useful information about this, and the rules for claiming, on the Scope website. It is possible to claim PIP and carry on working.
@poppy123456 is right that the employer should send out the SSP1 form when SSP ends. I would just add that in my experience it is not unusual for employers to forget to do this. A gentle reminder never hurts when it gets towards the end of the 28 weeks.
