New esa claim

0054ko5

Hi I’m applying for new esa.

I’m enquiring about national insurance contributions.

I’ve worked for the tax years 2021-2022. 2022-23

Five of weeks 21-22 I earned less then £120 due to maternity pay ending and it was kit days. Will I still qualify?

thanks

All you can do is wait for them to make a decision. Once it’s made you will receive a decision letter.

You can see the requirements here. https://www.entitledto.co.uk/help/employment-and-support-allowance-contribution-based

Have you checked entitlement to Universal Credit? It’s means tested so if you live with a partner you will need to claim as a couple and your joint circumstances will be taken into consideration. If you have savings/capital of more than £16,000 you’re excluded from claiming. Use a benefits calculator to check entitlement. https://www.entitledto.co.uk/benefits-calculator

Heya @0054ko5 and welcome to the community!

I can see Poppy has already leapt in to your assistance, but I just wanted to stop in and say hello.

Second contribution condition - in both of the last two complete tax years, you must have paid or been credited with, Class 1 or 2 contributions on earnings of at least 50 times the lower earnings limit.

With this contribution is it that you had to earn more then £6000 in 21/22 (50 x £120)

then more then £6150 for 22/23 (50 x £123)

That's correct.

Component react.suggestedcontent had an error.

The value must be greater than or equal to 1.
