Thank you.

I wonder if this helps you it is from the Gov.Uk site and there is quite a bit of information there on ESA:-

Repeat claims for Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)

Before 30 March 2015 if you failed the Work Capability Assessment (WCA) and you reclaimed ESA you could be entitled to ESA immediately (pending a new WCA assessment) if your new claim was more than six months after your first WCA failure, even if your condition had not changed. This was known as the ‘six-month rule’.

New rules were introduced on 30th March 2015 which now end the ‘six month rule’ for reclaiming ESA.

If on or after 30 March 2015 you are reclaiming ESA after failing the Work Capability Assessment you will now not be able to claim for ESA again if you are found to be capable of doing some work after your Work Capability Assessment(WCA).

There are some exceptions when a new ESA claim will be allowed, the main situations are where;

your current condition has got a lot worse

you’re claiming for a new condition

There are other exceptions that may apply in certain circumstances.

If you have failed the WCA and you want to reclaim ESA it is essential that you seek advice from an experienced adviser before making a new claim to check if you fall into any of the exceptions groups which would enable you to reclaim. You can use our Find an Adviser tool to find details of local advice agencies in your area.

Best of luck with everything. By the way Janet comes highly recommended as an advisor from people who have sort her help from the forum.x
