Hi and welcome to the community
You can only claim esa if you have paid enough ni contributions in prev 2 tax years
Do you claim any other benefits like support group, sdp , housing benefit, council tax reduction or pip -

Hello @soundfader and welcome to the community, how are you today?
I hope the above responses have been helpful, it might be beneficial for you to fill out a benefits calculator to try and estimate your entitlement to benefits, however as mentioned you won't be eligible for new style ESA if you haven't paid enough contributions.Online Community CoordinatorConcerned about another member's safety or wellbeing?
