Hi,SSP is payable for 28 weeks before claiming ESA.You should also speak your employer about reasonable adjustments.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
