For JSA you can only claim this with a sick note for a maximum 13 weeks per year. So if the time you claimed before exceeded 13 weeks then you won't be able to claim it again.You'll need to wait for the SDP to start and then claim Income Related ESA.0

Okay thankyou I will give the sick note in as I only got one for 1 week previously so should be okay but what does that mean? They won't force me to search as much for jobs as they are too much alot of the time even though I print off everything I had applied for0

You're welcome.What happens next (if you want to keep claiming JSA) If you are sick and want to stay on JSA you will need to talk to your work coach. Your work coach will discuss your sickness or health condition and agree with you what you are able to do to look for work over the period you are sick. The actions you agree will be recorded and your work coach will keep in touch with you while you are sick. If you do not do the things you have agreed to do to look for work you may lose your benefit.The above was taken from this link.As soon as the SDP is in payment you need to claim the ESA.

You need to talk to your employment coach. They will discuss your current state of health and offer advice on what to do next. Make sure your questions are answered. Keep us updated and don’t forget to contact them frequently to update them.0

Okay then! It says on DWP website about work coaches and all this stuff though!!!0

You won't have a work coach because you'll be on assessment rate. Once a decision is made if you're placed into the support group there's no work coach. You'll only have a work coach if you're placed into the WRAG but that may never happen.

You should look at the Support Group descriptors to see if any apply to you or reg 35 which is substantial risk. If you're place into the WRAG your money will remain the same as it is on assessment rate because of the rule changes in April 2017.Support Group descriptors here. https://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/employment-and-support-allowance/esa-glossary/1353-support-group-descriptorsReg 35 explained here. http://www.cpag.org.uk/content/making-exceptionWhen the ESA50 form arrives i would advise you to get some help to fill it out.
