Hi Everyone,
I'm currently on Newstart allowances with a medical certificate, stating I'm not fit for work at the moment due depression, anxiety
I've had my certificate renewed twice so far for 3 months each and I'm more than likely will need more time off. My anxiety and depression flare up really bad a couple of weeks before my medical certificate is due to be renewed.
I've spoken with my Psychologist and we are still working through everything about this cycle.
Is there something else I can be on with
Thanks for your help in advance

The only alternative I can think of is applying for a disability support pension, depending on your age and the severity of your mental health issues.
Good luck to you.
