Story No meds, no UK disability benefits

[zephyr]

I live off UK job seekers allowance. (Universal Credit) I asked my UK government if I could live off disability benefit forever due to my short term memory loss making it nigh impossible for me to hold down a job.

Due to covid back log, I could not be contacted straightaway. They eventually responded.

(I essentially waited a year and a half for this simple exchange.)

Me: "May I be excused from looking for work forever?"

Them: "Are you on meds?"

Me "No."

Them: "Well no then."

Try and visit your GP man,
Also most of the time if you are rejected first, then ask for mandatory reconsideration you will probably get it,
Also try Pip instead of ESA if that's what u tried probably have more luck.
