So sorry to hear you are going through this, you must be having a awful time. I am no expert in ESA etc only what I have gone through myself previously, so do not want to give you any definite advice. I would like to ask if you have a local community hub.
Although they cannot give you Legal Advice they have contacts at the DWP that we do not know about and they may be able to make that call for you
Best wishes and I hope you get this resolved soon

This is unacceptable really. ESA tend to implement tribunal decisions 4-6 weeks after the appeal - they do have a month from the date of the decision to request a statement of reasons if they seek permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal, although they don't do this often. Your JSA claim should continue until they have sorted out your ESA, leaving you with nothing is unacceptable. I hope you have got this sorted now.
