Hi @chunky welcome to the community
The 2 types of ESA are:
- contribution-based ESA - usually you get this if you’ve paid enough National Insurance contributions
- income-related ESA - usually you get this on its own or on top of contribution-based ESA, if you’re on a low income
Contribution-based ESA lasts one year if you’re in the work-related activity group. You may be able to re-apply at least 12 weeks after your contribution-based ESA ends. You may qualify again depending on:
- National Insurance contributions you paid in the last 2 full tax years before the tax year you’re claiming in
- whether your health deteriorates and you’re placed in the support group
There’s no time limit on how long you can claim contribution-based ESA if you’re in the support group.
You can find more information here, if you still arent sure then it may be worth checking your paperwork or calling and asking.
