It sounds like your previous assessments were for Incapacity Benefit, ESA is similar but there are important differences in the assessment criteria, just because someone has previously qualified for IB does not mean that they will qualify for ESA.
Please have a look at our ESA Claim guides for more details of the assessment criteria and the process.
