Hey I need some help as I'm worried. I was told to claim ESA as I have been diagnosed with Autism and also currently suffering from stress and depression. I have been claiming JSA but I was getting too stressed to the point that I was becoming sick. I got the doctors note, I have filled out the forms and have sent them off but I don't know how long to wait until I get a response for them and I have no more JSA payments being paid in. What do I do? and how long do I have to wait for a response? This whole process is making me stressed does anyone know? Thanks Lee

Okay thank you I will post back when I ask them on monday

I'm due to sign on the 20th of December which is a Thursday and usually get paid by the following Tuesday but it's Xmas day. Do I get paid earlier too or not? I'm just trying to work out my expenses
