Can you make a claim for ESA for more that three months past. Such as for one or two years ago?

No, a claim can only be backdated for a maximum of 3 months and then the fit note from your GP also needs to be backdated for the same time. Any claim you make for New style ESA will be a NI credits only, as advised on your other thread.
-
As in can you make a claim, that is specifically meant to be credits only, since got.uk information about NI credits it suggests that if you're eligible for ESA then you can claim class 1 credits.

I've already answered your questions quite a few times in your previous thread. We're just going round in circles here. You can claim New style ESA only which will be for NI credits only, you will not have any payments. You can backdated it for a maximum of 3 months but is it worth doing that for a credits only claim?You can't claim the old Income related ESA.

Does the credits only ESA claim come to an end after a year?

-
Can you request reconsideration of ESA entitlement at any time, regardless of how long the claim has been going for?

It's within the first month after a decision's been made but with good reason you have 13 months. Not sure why you are asking that question though.
