HI C,

As it appears that you are new to the forum, it may help if you read :

Welcome to Benefits and Work

You can access out FAQ’s in the yellow Spotlight Area, at the top above the forum, from here :

FAQ’s

You can search the forums for previously posted topics from here :

Searching The Forum

To see potential sources of face to face advice, and representation, see :

Where to get advice?

You can access our recently updated ESA Appeals Guides Jan 2012 from :

ESA Guides

As you have been found "fit for work" you can either sign on for JSA, or appeal the decision.

You have 1 month to appeal the decision from the date of the "fit for work" decision letter, using a GL24, which can be downloaded from the link on this page :

How to submit an appeal

You will also need to obtain a sick note/fit note from your G.P. to cover you from the date of your disallowance of ESA.

Once you have sent in the GL24, and the sick note, you will be entitled to the Assessment Rate of ESA either until the adverse decision is changed in your favour at the automatic reconsideration stage, or if not then right up until the date of the Tribunal's decision.

You will not have to pay back any of this Assessment Rate ESA, no matter what the outcome.
