Hi,

Ive searched everywhere and i cant seem to find information on applying for the Disabillity allowance if your already on Job-Seekers allowance. I have been on the JA for over a year now.

How long does it usually take to hear back on whether you were approved or not.
Is there a different process?? Will i be taking off the jobseekers while im waiting for approval?

thanks for your help
 
How long ago did you apply for disability allowance? Decisions can take some time because there's a means test and a medical assessment.

If you're still waiting for DA, and your jobseeker's claim is stopped, contact the CWO at your local health centre - depending on your family situation, you may be eligible for a payment from the CWO while you're waiting on your DA.
 
Hi,

I havent actually applied for it yet, i was just enquiring before i do so. I have spoken with my doctor about it, as the stress of looking for a job is adding to illness. Im just worried that i will be left without anything.

Thanks for your help
