Hi Matt

Can you put a claim in for ESA? You can ring the new claim line for advice not sure what the number is or go on the Gov.uk website which is full of information, the new claim number will be on there too. There are two types of ESA contribution based or income based but the helpline or website will explain more. You will need a note from your doctor or consultant saying that you're unfit for work. It's one thing being unwell without having to worry about finances but there is help out there for times when you need it. Good luck! :)

Contact centre numbers

Telephone: 0800 055 6688

Textphone: 0800 023 4888

Welsh language telephone: 0800 012 1888

Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm

Matt.... This is the new claim number for when you need it. X

Check with CAB on what you are entitled to. The benefits advisors there are really clued up.

Hi, its definately worth looking at the website benefitsandwork.co.uk

Got some invaluable free info on there re ESA and other benefits. It has nothing to do with DWP.

It has helped me enormously. Good luck
