Do you meet any of the descriptors? Do you have sufficient NI Contributions for a fresh claim or will you qualify for income based?

i was a carer for my uncle, then i went on jsa, then esa

You should qualify for Income based ESA then, if you have no income, no contributions, and little, if any, savings.

Yes, as long as 6 months have passed since the original decision after your medical (I believe you said June 2013) so all good there.

Do you have a partner that works?

See above. As you failed your assessment that means you did not meet the descriptors. Have you not even looked at them, surely you have addressed them in your appeal?

In previous posts you refer to a husband. If he is still around his income (including any benefits) will be counted towards your claim.
