cfs/fibro

Hi I'm new on here and need a bit of help. I have been forced to claim jsa and have cfs/ fibrosmyalgia and hypothyroidism but scored 0 points for esa. I saw on here the other day a section about how to jet your claim coach know but can't find it now. I'm so ill at yhe moment that I can only manage to look for a few minutes at a time before my head starts to hurt. Can anyone help me please?

Hi Sal and welcome to the forum. I hope this link will help you find your way around the site.

Welcome to Benefits and Work

I am sorry you are having to deal with this when you are so poorly

If your GP will do you a new fitnote you can be excused from job seeking activities for up to 12 weeks. This usually gives enough time for the MR to be completed.

You might want to bookmark/favourite this on your web browser now so that you can find it easily in future. That will allow you to return with further questions/comments without having to start a new topic each time. It helps us enormously when everything relating to the same claim is kept in one place - and I hope you will find it useful too

I just want to say thank you. I gave the work coach my fit note but he didn't seem too bothered. I have an appointment with the disability advisor on Wednesday but have my appointment with coach to sign on tomorrow. I don't understand the booklet he's given to me so I've not filled any of it in. Should I have. ?
