    Hi,
    It will make no difference at all to your ESA Support Group if you quite your job. Although i wouldn't advise doing that without getting some expert advice from ACAS. https://www.acas.org.uk/

    Hi @bullocksmithy and welcome to the forum :) To help our users find your query I've moved it into our ESA category and changed the title slightly.

    Has Poppy's reply been useful for you? Let us know how you get on with ACAS, and if you're still unsure about anything, we're here to help.

    Hi i am just going through this process myself but i wouldn't resign, let them dismiss you on ill health grounds. Are you in the union ?
