Hi @jokar100

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.
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.
