    Hi,

    Whether or not you can claim ESA will depend on your circumstances. New claims for Income Related ESA aren't possible because all areas are now a full Universal credit area.

    If you've paid enough NI contributions in the previous 2 tax years then claiming New style contributions ESA maybe possible. You'll need sick notes from your GP and evidence to support your claim.
