I would like to know what benefit I can get because  my ESA only lasted a year is there anything else I can apply for instead? Thank you

    New style ESA is only paid for 1 year unless placed into the Support Group. Have you had a work capability assessment yet? 

    The only other benefit will be Universal Credit. As it’s means tested whether there’s any entitlement will depend on your circumstances. If you live with a partner you will need to claim as a couple. If you have savings/capital of more than £16,000 you’re excluded from claiming. 

    Use a benefits calculator to check entitlement. https://www.entitledto.co.uk/benefits-calculator

    Hi @Alb1991 - you could try the following benefits calculator to see if anything else might be applicable such as Universal Credit or PIP: https://benefits-calculator.turn2us.org.uk/
