    if you are in the support group and try to go back to work, can you just use the linking rules once or can you apply more than once?
    thank you

    Hi @joan2106. I'm not actually sure if you can use it more than once. I can't find any information on a limit of times it can be used. Hopefully someone else will know more than me.

    @luvpink linking rules apply to ESA and allows a claimant to close their claim for up to 12 weeks and be able to make a rapid reclaim when applying again.

    I've struggled to find information myself @joan2106. I've ended up looking deep into legislation and then it's a lot of legal jargon! I think your best bet is to contact ESA and ask them directly.
