esa assesment

hi i have been onesa contribution bases since march 2013 .on friday i received esa 50 to fill in i have been given till the 12/09/2016 to return it , i was understanding that conribution besed esa was only payable for three years is this correct i am in support group without a medical.
also i was 60 years old in june but my pesoinable age is noe 66 due to pension regulations.so my question is if they find me fit for work which i doubt as i have developed three new il,lnesses since then .would i be entitled to jobseekers allowance or is there another benifit at my age ,i have worked for 40 years till getting ill in 2012 they have been crediting my stamp ,will this qualify me for js,though i cant do that as i would be declaring myself fit for work which i am clearly not, thank you for your help xand all the good work you do.

i am bit by bit working through the form will istill get paid whilst this assement goes on and can i add new illnesses that have occured since origional claim thank you for your help with this nightmare

Hi KK,

I have merged your query with the previous topic relating to your ESA claim. It helps us enormously when everything relating to the same claim is kept in one topic!

Your current ESA claim will continue until another decision is made, no matter how long that takes.

You should treat the ESA in the same way that you did the first one - complete it in detail and send with (copies of) it any/all supporting documentation. Definitely include limitations arising due to new illnesses.

If/when you have further questions or comments about your ESA claim, at any stage in the process, please reply to this and we will do our best to help. You will find it easily in future if you bookmark/favourite it on your web browser
