ESA replaced both incapacity benefit (IB) and income support (IS) paid on the grounds of incapacity for new claims from 27 October 2008.
Our guide tells you everything you need to know about ESA, including information on making a claim, benefit rates, the new medical tests, work focused interviews and appeals. It has full legal references throughout.
Please note that the guide itself has not been updated since October 2008. If you have already have a copy you should consider ordering the Disability Rights Handbook instead.
We have produced updates to the guide to cover 2009/2010 and 2010/2011 rates changes, which you can download from the links below.

I have been refused ESA on the grounds that I do not have a LImited Capacity for Work as the condition I have MS is not severe enough! I was perusing the internet for help and information and came across this on the DWP website. All I can say is that this has been a very useful publication to have as it has helped me no end to understand how the ESA system actually works, what I am entitled to should I win the tribunal etc. All I can say is that this comes very highly recommended as it lays out EVERYTHING that you need to know.
