When to make an ESA claim was created by Leofwen
Please can you advise hen to make n ES claim I am on. Fixed term contract which I don't ish to renew as I'm struggling to continue or king due to symptoms and fatigue ( have a spinal cord tumour and a disc bulge in the lumbar spine).
I have struggled for lat couple of months as I need to earn, however I did not know I could potentially claim allowance and have put in for DLA.
If my contract ends at the end of July, when do I need to apply for ESA. Also, can you claim DLA and ESA at the same time.
In the meantime I now am the proud owner of a blue badge!

You normally cannot apply for ESA while you are still working and specifically while you are entitled to SSP.
You should be able to make a claim from when your SSP ends, or if you are not eligible, from when you stop work, providing your GP provides a Fit Note.
