Fit note requirements ESA decision being made

Hi cc120,

If you cannot obtain Fit Notes to cover you for the duration of The Assessment Phase of ESA right up until your WCA, your ESA payments would cease, and your only other option would be to claim JSA as you would be classed as fit for work from the last date that your Fit note covered you to !
