    It's a standard end of year tax certificate, which shows how much benefit you've received in the last tax year (up to April 5th 2015). Employees get them from employers and DWP issue them for certain benefits.

    Contributions based ESA is a taxable benefit, income based ESA
    isn't - but it's very unlikely you'll have received enough for any tax to be due.

    Simply put it somewhere safe and then forget about it. In the unlikely chance HMRC ask you to do a tax return form you may need the figures from it.
