Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) 

Posted
Updated
  • You can apply for Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) if you have a disability or health condition that affects how much you can work. ESA gives you money to help with living costs if you’re unable to work and support to get back into work if you’re able to. 
  • Incapacity Benefit is being replaced with Employment and Support Allowance (ESA). 
  • You might be able to get Universal Credit at the same time or instead of New Style ESA. If you get both benefits, your Universal Credit payment is reduced by the amount you get for New Style ESA.
