Employment Support Allowance

In October 2007 the new Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) replaced incapacity benefit and income support for people with a disability claiming for the first time. A new test has been introduced to decide if someone is eligible to receive the ESA - if they are, they may receive support to help them move into work.
