Hi everyone,
A quick question - can you claim ESA, if you have already claimed Incapacity Benefit in the past? I have lost my job due to ill health and claimed Incapacity Benefit around 5 years ago - so basically, can I claim again?
Thank you for any help.
Kind regards.

You need to be aware that the criteria for claiming ESA are rather different from those for claiming IB so there is no guarantee that you'll be awarded it.0
