Universal Credit and Employment & Support Allowance

You can apply for Universal Credit and Employment & Support Allowance (ESA) if you have a disability or health condition that affects how much you can work.

These benefits are administered by the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP).

The DWP will conduct a work capability assessment to identify your eligibility and the additional support you need.
