ir ESA provide contributions for future cb ESA?

Am wondering if income related ESA provides any contributions towards any future possible cb ESA? Just like I think some old incapacity benefits did and therefore when migrating we are entitled to cb ESA.

Hi G,

I'm afraid that - to put it simply - ESA, be it contributory or income-related, only makes NI credits on your behalf, it does not pay contributions which would entitle you to contributory benefits in future
