Employment and Support Allowance? - In N. Ireland

If you can't work because of sickness or disability, and you aren't getting Statutory Sick Pay, you might qualify for Employment and Support Allowance (ESA).  There are two sorts of ESA – one is called contributory ESA and this depends on your national insurance contributions.  The other is called income-related ESA and this depends on how much money you have coming in.

There are a number of tests you have to pass to get ESA.  You can get help to claim this benefit.

For more information about ESA, see: Benefits for people who are sick or disabled.
