I am wondering how much it is necessary to have worked in the past to qualify for non- IR ESA? I have never been able to work due to disability, but about 8 years ago, I earned about £200 as a self employed. Would this count as 'having worked' or would this be too little?
I also seem to notice that it seems that the requirement in terms of class 1 credits has changed? It seems that class 3 credits would now qualify for non-IR ESA?
