When ESA comes to an end and mental health

Hi,

Short background:

My initial ESA claim began in June last year.

Although I was given 0 points, and my report didn't seem to think I was 'unfit for work,' I was called up and informed that I would be put in WRAG. For 6 months.

I had 6 months, went to a work advisory app. every fortnight. And then in January had to fill in ESA50 a second time. Then attend another WCA last month.

I have a strong feeling I will score zero points and be taken off ESA in the next few weeks. What happens next?

I'm not ready for an intensely gruelling tribunal/appeal process after what I'm guessing would be a non-resulting MR. But the alternative is being on JSA and being forced to work...

My question:

I understand I'd have to claim JSA while MR is processed, but since I'm in the work programme for two years like everyone else who is on it, my question is, once I'm put on JSA will I have to attend the provider Seetec more than I already do now on WRAG ESA?

It makes me intensely anxious.


Thank you.

So I feel that if I'm found fit that I have no other choice as I'd need the money.

Since I'm in the work programme for two years once I'm put on JSA will I have to attend the provider Seetec more than I already do now on WRAG ESA? Or will the sick notes limit how much I'd have to go?

Oh and lastly on the UC front, how would it differ?

I see. That really worries me.

I know you mentioned I wouldn't have to perform JSA activities in the first line. But increasing intensity of the WP is what I dreaded. Those daily meetings with the programme's supervisors worses my mental health issues. The job center fortnightly/weekly computer visit would actually be less of a pain for the weeks I was doing the MR.

I guess there is no advice for how to handle the WP issue if my ESA stops and I have to apply for JSA?

Thank you for earlier replies.
