- Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
-
Please note: as an older person, finding out which benefits you may be entitled to, and the impact they may have on other benefits, is not always straightforward. There is a huge amount of information available about benefits, but this can be overwhelming or confusing. We would always advise you to seek advice from an independent Welfare Rights Officer, who will be able to look at your individual situation and guide you through the applications process.
You can find details of local and citywide organisations that provide independent and free benefits advice on the Newcastle Welfare Rights webpages.
From 27 October 2008 Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) replaces Incapacity Benefit and Income Support paid on incapacity grounds for new customers. If you are currently receiving these benefits you will continue to receive them, so long as you continue to satisfy the entitlement conditions.
