New legislation, not passed yet, but unnlikely to be opposed, will limit Contribution Based ESA to one year for members of the ESA WRAG, but not the Support Group.

The change will come into effect in April 2012, but will be retrospective, so you have at least a further 11 months on ESA(CB).

After this time you will be eligible to claim Income Related ESA, however, this is means tested, with regard to income and assets.

Hope this explains it.
