    Though I know that I have been getting credits-only ESA for at least some of the time, but I'm not sure if I have enough.

    You've been advised of this a few times now, you won't be able to claim New style ESA and receive any payments because you haven't worked and paid the correct amount of NI contirbutions. Claiming benefits like UC or a credits only ESA claim is not enough. We are just going round in circles here.
    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.

    I suspect the real issue here needs a different thread.
    How do you mean?

    You can check your NI record if you want to

    I point out that I have full year's for 2019-2020/2020-2021 though the credits might be a mixture from Universal Credit and ESA.

    As has already been advised a few times to you that NI credits alone are not enough to entitle you to receive any money for new style ESA. I know you worked a little but it’s not enough. UC only pays class 3, which are only useful for your state pension.
