Hi,

As I'm now retired, I have to admit I know very little about ESA, since it only came into force for new claimants in November 2009.

Have you checked through our ESA Guides in DLA Resources

Hope this helps.

Hi,

You should continue to qualify for assessment phase ESA on the same basis that you qualify at the moment.

Good luck,

Steve
