Hi,You should have received a SSP1 form from your employer a few weeks before your SSP finished. You'll need this form to claim ESA, along with a fit/sick note from your GP. Without the form you can't claim ESA. Speak to your employer.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

You also need to check what's in your area, if it's a full Universal credit area then you need to claim New Style Contributions based ESA. If it's not a full UC area then you claim Contributions based ESA. Same benefits but different ways to claim them.Check your area here. http://ucpostcode.entitledto.co.uk/ucdate
