From what I remember I think maybe you can still get UC, possibly the same amount as job seekers allowance and as long as you've got a Dr's sick note shouldn't have to look for work, but you'll still have to see a work coach every so often, who may sanction or even stop your money all together if you're unable to do some of the things they expect you to do (probably more so if you have a mental illness like depression or anxiety rather than a visible physical disability), I guess it just depends on the work coach you get.

Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

If I end up in this situation and I have enough savings to live off to get me through the MR and tribunal, then if my work coach is difficult that's it I'll be walking out, stop my money as much as you want.

If I don't have enough savings I'll just have to keep seeing them, unless I end up so unable to cope with it mentally that I cannot even make myself go anymore. If I get sanctioned on the much less money that I'm on or my money stopped altogether then that's it I'm finished, I'll either starve to death unless I commit suicide first because of not being able to cope.
