1. If you're looking for work you should be claiming JSA
2. If you're not well enough for work you should be claiming ESA

Totally agree with Paula. You could even claim Pip too...

we tried PIP ages ago (back when it was DLA) for my eye thing. wasnt eligible. can't see that having changed.

Then why not claim income support? It does still exist - it's just not advertised anymore. https://www.gov.uk/income-support/how-to-claim

As for the citalopram, ive been told the main side effects are nausea and dizziness at the dtart but id have to be oretty unlucky to get anything else, but i dint know how true that is.

I've been on citalopram twice now and had hardly any side effects at all
