ESA medical failed
Tue 27-Oct-09 01:49 PM

probably a basic question but don't deal with many ESA situations. Claimant has failed medical (is challenging as was given no points but mental health not takn into account). Does not meet criteria for JSA while appeal is being dealt with as is a student taking a year out (due to health) and so canot be seeking permanent work. Has had a crisis loan but now has no benefit to take repayments out of for this. What can he cliam now?

he can claim assessment phase ESA while awaiting his appeal - he will still need to supply sick lines
