Employment and support allowance (ESA) is a new benefit paid to people whose ability to work is limited by ill health or disability. It is intended to replace both incapacity benefit (IB) and income support (IS) paid on the grounds of incapacity for new claimants from 27 October 2008 and for existing IB/IS claimants at a later date.
ESA will be a single benefit with both contributory and means tested rates of pay. It will also feature a new medical test. ESA will place a greater emphasis on assessing a sick or disabled person’s ability to work.
