Carers who are unable to work due to illness or disability may be eligible for Employment and Support Allowance (ESA). Whether you’re a full-time carer or managing your own health, ESA can help cover essential costs.

How Much is the Employment & Support Allowance?

The allowance amount depends on your circumstances, including age, health condition, and whether you’re in the assessment or main phase. Payments may be higher if you’re placed in the support group.

How to Claim

You can apply for Employment & Support Allowance online or by phone. You’ll need to provide medical evidence and complete a Work Capability Assessment.
