Hi @jokar100
Welcome to the community, we have a benefits calculator you can fill in here to see what you could be entitled to.0 -
Hi,New style ESA is based on NI Contributions in the previous 2 tax years. You'll need a fit/sick note from your GP and a SSP1 from from your employer to be able to claim this. It's paid for 365 days maximum unless you're placed into the Support Group and then it's paid for as long as you remain in that group.
