Employment Support Allowance (ESA)

Employment Support Allowance (ESA) is a UK benefit designed to provide financial support to people who are unable to work or have limited capacity to work due to illness or disability. It helps cover living costs while they focus on health and work recovery or adjustment. ESA offers different levels of support depending on how much work a person can do, including financial assistance and access to programs that help improve employability. Eligibility is assessed through medical evaluations, and the amount received depends on individual circumstances.
