ESA personal interview

Hello to members here.

I am on ESA. I am not looking forward to my hour long interview at the Job Centre. I have not been out for a while, and I get stressed on the bus, and worried.
I mean I was a confident young man, graduated in chemistry, did everything right. Just not my fault that I got ill. I have epilepsy. I tried not to give up no matter how hard that was. But then I was diagonosed with cancer in 2007. This has affected my quality of life. As a man, there is not much support for my type of cancer. So maybe I can help about that.

In the past, I tried to do all their New deal jobs dole+10. All the companies used me though. I never got kept on for a job. This made me feel worthless and undervalued. I just feel this interview will be more of the same. Using disabled people companies must be desperate for money. Comments?

Hi SS, and welcome to the forum.

If you look at the ESA Guides in the orange MEMBERS ONLY area on the left, you may find them enlightening, WFI's are also mentioned.

This is not a discussion forum, however members and moderators will try to answer any general questions that you may have.

Have a look at this recent thread regarding WFI's. :

Also, if you put WFI into the search engine just above the logout box, top right, many similar threads will come up.

cheers
