Are you able to claim ESA at age 16 and still at school

Hello @edwarca and welcome to the community.

This is complex and will depend on the individual circumstances. A good information sheet can be found at http://www.medway.gov.uk/pdf/Benefits for 16-17 year olds.pdf

If you call the scope helpline they may be able to assist or at least signpost an organisation which can help. The number is 0808 800 3333
