Good morning all hope you are well.
Posted here a while while ago about giving up my job, in the end they medically let me go. (I was ok with this).
Was on ESA for a little while, had my result on Monday and received no points !!!
Have now now applied for JSA and received the award text , I will be getting 105 per week , I am assuming this includes the disability premium as I receive PIP.
My my question is that I could possibly be offered a part time role. Full time is no ,inter a option as my main RA is in both my wrists.
16 hours work
I will earn 128 per week, I have been reading that I can still claim JSA to help is this right.
Many thanks
Sue

Hi Sue
Are you challenging your ESA decision ?
Is your JSA contribution or income based ?
Are you in a full UC area ?
Do you have a partner ?

Hi CR
Thank you for replying, I didn't challenge the decision as I was half asleep when they rang. They got me to do a application for JSA at the same time.. I am not sure if it is income based or contribution as I have not received the letter yet only a text message today.
I am am not eligible for UC because I get PIP and do not have a partner
many thanks and advice would be greatly appreciated

Have you had the decision letter refusing your ESA ?
If not then when you do you can ask for a mandatory reconsideration, which seldom changes the outcome but which then means you can take it to an appeal tribunal.
You should also ask for a copy of the assessment report.
Did you work and pay NI for the last two years ?
If so you should be on JSA contribution based

Yes I have always worked up until this year. So that means I am on contribution based. Does that mean I can work part time.
I got got a copy of the report it showed me in a light that I am fit for some work
many thanks

Do you agree with the report ?
Work of some kind is always a better option and as long as you are able to I would not challenge the ESA decision with all the associated stress.
I am sure that one of the advisors here will be on soon and may well have better info for you. I have tried my best but ESA/JSA is not really my best subject, still learning
