The question I would like to ask is "If you are about to move from ESA to JSA but have an over-riding fear / paranoia preventing you from entering the JC+ to sign on and then sign in fortnightly, are there any alternative (e.g. online) procedures. Or are you automatically disqualified from JSA as unable to meet the 'jobseekers agreement' conditions?"
Background: My Grandson (lives with me) has been on ESA for approaching 3 years with mental health issues (0 points from ATOS, 39 points at tribunal). He is much improved but not yet "well", has been informally diagnosed with Aspergers but he refused a formal diagnosis. He continued voluntarily with his Pathways to Work adviser until the programme was ended in April 2011, no contact or support since, and has been applying for 10+ jobs per week for over a year with about six replies, no offers
His condition is now worsening again: Feels well enough and wants to work and can't Feels persecuted by government and media as "scrounger" Has overwhelming dread of imminent "brown letter" from DWP re-assessment Sees no future and has attempted suicide
Sorry for dumping on the many other sick people on here - just had to get it off my chest.
