Supported daughter to apply for new style ESA as SSP ran out.
She had a phone call from someone to take some details who said she would likely be in the support category.
No instruction to complete ESA50 yet. Special rules don’t apply.
Has had an appointment to meet her job coach (phone appt) in March to “talk about what help you may need and what work related activities you’ve done”.
Is this standard during assessment period? She has autism and anxiety and it’s really stressed her out.
Thank you

Yes, a Work Focussed Interview is required to take place during the first five weeks of the claim I think, but certainly during the Assessment Period.
