Employment And Support Allowance (Esa) Definition
The Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) is a benefits payment for people who are unable to work because of an illness or disability. The ESA is paid by the UK government to help people with the costs of living and is available to both employed and unemployed people. To be eligible for the ESA, you must have a medical condition that prevents you from working or limits your ability to work. You will need to provide evidence of your medical condition when you apply for the ESA.
