    The conditions you must meet to claim New style ESA are in this link. As you haven't worked since June 2017 you may or may not qualify. The years that count for this are 2016/17 and 2017/18.  If you're not sure you've worked enough then you'll need to ring the number in the link and they'll advise you.

    Hi Poppy,

    checked against the the criteria and put details into the link - nil money I can claim. 
    On another note, if you could kindly assist, the judges letter from the tribunal stated his recommendation is the department does not contact me for a minimum of 12 months.
    Yesterday I received a letter from dwp saying I needed to go to a work capability meeting and meet with a lady on 29th of January.... Surley this cant be right?

    many thanks,

    Hi,

    Please read the letter again. As you're in the WRAG then it's most likely an appointment with your work coach at your local job centre.

    Have you recently filled in another work capability assessment form? If it was a face to face assessment then you would have had a form. Also take note of what the letter heading is, if it was a work capability assessment then it would be from the health assessment.
