my contribution based ESA is due to end my partner works so I would be entitled to income based ESA. My health has not changed I have applied for jobs got 2 interviews and had seizures at both interviews due to stress levels. I really don’t know where to turn advice pleas.

Hi @ngjd131
I hope you are well. sorry to hear about your situation.
As you mentioned your health hasn't changed, do you feel you are in position to get back to work? and what sort work are you looking to get into?
Great to hear that you are getting interviews but obviously the seizures sound like an area of concern.

Amazing thanks for your reply. My seizures are so strange as they are triggered but anxiety and stress so I can have periods of time with only seizures through the night but then I can have times where I’m having upto 12 a day. Because I have non epileptic seizures as well they are a lot harder to control.
