Your last assessment will have been for ESA.
Are you in a Universal Full Credit area?
If you aren't then you will only be able to make a new claim for ESA if you can show that you have a new condition or your original conditions have deteriorated since you last applied, such that you are reasonably likely to receive an award.
If you are in a UC area then you can apply for this and then ask to be assessed for Limited Capability for Work, this is basically the same as ESA but be aware you can be required to seek work until it is confirmed that you have LCW.
See our ESA Claim guides for details of the criteria you will need to meet.
