re-apply for cb esa? was created by Olive
Hi,
If you only have a "ni credits only" new style esa award in support group at present, would you be able to re-apply for contribution based new style esa again in a few years time?
If so, would you have to end your current "credits only" claim before applying again?
Thanks

There are two Contribution Conditions that you need to meet for a new claim for New Style ESA.
Both are based on the two Tax Years preceding the current Benefit year, for 2023 they are 2020-21 and 2021-22.
The Second Condition requires a minimum of 50 weeks of either NI Contributions and/or NI Credits, your current Credits Only award potentially covers this.
The First however requires a minimum of 26 weeks of NI Contributions in either of the two years, your current claim does not provide these, Contributions can only be acquired through paid employment, there are some exceptions but you don't mention any of these in your post.

Hi Gordon,
Thank you for your reply/.
Yes, I know about the contribution conditions but:-
can you still apply again for cb esa in the future?
and would you have to ring up dwp and tell them to cancel the current esa?
thanks
