I have applied for PIP and UC LCWRA. I have had a PIP assessment but do not know the outcome just yet. UC no news re assessment yet. I have been on SSP for 18 weeks so I think I probably need to think about applying for ESA soon, just in case I am not better before the SSP ends. If I have already submitted my application to UC for the WCA, how does this affect my application for ESA, do I just phone up in the normal way or will I need to do the forms again please? Thank you for your help.

Hi JenBiddy40

Yes, for New Style ESA you just phone up in the normal way and your eligibility is checked against your National Insurance Contributions. You can only claim when the employer has told you that your SSP has stopped.
