I don't know if my workplace will lay me off on medical grounds or whether I will have to resign on medical grounds? Can you advise me on reapplying for ESA please, taking in to consideration the above circumstances? My physical condition prevents me from claiming Job seekers as I would be physically unable to sign on and I would be unable to apply for Income ESA due to my wife working. Thanks.

Get face to face advice about your employment situation from a trained advisor, before you take any action such as resigning, you may be giving up rights by resigning that you will regret losing.

You say "reapply" for ESA which suggests that you have previously claimed ESA. What happened with this claim?

I was successful with it but found an employer who offered me work taking into consideration the extent of my physical difficulties, allowing me to work part time from home.The company is now in some financial difficulty and has reduced my hours to five a week leaving me unable to support myself and pay my bills. The company will be willing to lay me off if that would be more appropriate or beneficial. The situation has led to me being unable to eat, sleep and feeling like giving up/ self harming. This is effecting already existing physical conditions making me physically and mentally unable to work. I will be seeing my GP ASAP.

For how long were you working? You can make a rapid reclaim for ESA and return to the same level of benefit if it is less than 13 weeks since you closed your claim.
