'Employment fear' - "The flawed assessment process can be highly stressful for autistic people who can experience high levels of anxiety meeting new people or when their routine is broken, particularly when the stakes are so high," he said. "We will be looking out for more details from the government." Keran Bunker, an ESA claimant who is on the autistic spectrum and has ADHD, told the BBC that the change would make people "fear trying to find employment". Mr Bunker said he would fear taking a job which he might lose later because of health issues, only to then have to return to the lower level of benefit."
This whole process is exhausting unless you guard your mind against the bureaucratic arbitrariness.
I'm curious what the man means, and how one would go through a different process if they got a job and then were found to be unable to do it and became unfit again?
From April this year new claims for ESA that result in a WRAG award will no longer be paid the WRAG component only the Personal Allowance. This change does not apply to existing ESA claimants or new claims that result in a Support Group award.
