The Department for Work and Pensions has a list of 23 health conditions that could get £362 a month support. Employment Support Allowance (ESA) is available if you have a disability or health condition that impacts how much you can work.
This benefit can be used to cover living costs if you're unable to work, or as support to help you return to work if you're able to do so. Whether you're employed, self-employed or unemployed, you can apply for ESA.
Here's how much you could receive and how to determine if you're eligible. You can apply for 'new-style' Department for Work and Pensions ( DWP ) ESA if you are below state pension age and have a disability or health condition that affects your ability to work.
