Hello matcass

I'm not well up on benefits and think you would be far better off giving the BLF Helpline a call. Their number is 03000 030 555 and the lines are open Monday to Friday 10am to 6pm. I'm sure there will be someone there who can advise you

Best of luck and keep on keeping on ....

Hi mattcass

From what you are saying you could be eligible for Contribution based employment and support allowance (ESA) - generally there is a 12 weeks assessment period (approx) and at the end of this the DWP will make a decision - either work related activity group (WRAG) - they accept you are unwell but say you can do some work, support group - they accept you are too unwell to work. Alternatively they may suggest Job seekers allowance - there is also the possibility of DLA.

Please give us a call though on 03000 030 555 and we can go through this with you in more detail.

Cheers

Jo

A Know You Will Have To Leave Because Of Ill Health .... Or Go Back To Work For A Week And Do It All Again

If Your Sick Pay As Run Its Course You Are Entitled To Benefits As Long As You Are Still Sick And Not In Receipt Of Payment From Your Employer

Yes A Had Trouble With Council Too .... Was Paying Me £0.97p And Could Not Get Benefits Because A Was Still Being Paid
