Hi lb,

We do understand how complicated this can seem, it took us Mods a while to get are heads around it, when it was implemented in April 2012.

Please note from Gordon's post, that he has underlined NI Contributions, and NI Credits.

There is a difference between NI Contributions gained from employment, and NI Credits paid whilst in receipt of benefits.

The 12 week business is totally irrelevant to this situation. In your case, if you were to discontinue your claim you would render yourself ineliigible for ESA, even in the Support Group, until such a time as you have built up 2 years worth of NI contributions from employment!

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems
