I'm afraid not, ESA has specific criteria that need to be met in order for a claimant to receive an award. See our ESA Claim guides for more information.

Thank you Gordon for your reply. l have always been lucky enough to be able to work .....until now. Trying to sort out benefit entitlement is the most frustrating/complicated thing l have ever had to deal with.
