Gaynor - eligibility for ESA doesn't depend on a specific diagnosis, it depends on whether you can do or not do certain things. There are people with ME/CFS who are in receipt of ESA.

I don't think you're asking the wrong questions. Did I miss something you wanted to know?

would they expect him to get into work in a short space of time ..

They should, but the WFIs are often outsourced to a bureau and they can be a gung ho, the important thing is to ensure that you accompany your husband to these interviews so you know what is being said.

would they expect him to get into work in a short space of time ..

Your husband has to be found fit for work first and even then he is not under any obligation to seek work unless he is receiving JSA.
