There are a range of employment benefits that you could be eligible for.

That’s why we’re here to provide support and advice with finding out your eligibility and applications.
You may be able to get the standard amount of Universal Credit if you are on low income or out of work. Universal Credit also covers the following elements: Housing, Child element and Limited Capability for Work and Work-Related Activity. If you care for a severely disabled person, you may be eligible for an extra amount.
New Style ESA is a fortnightly payment that can be claimed on its own or at the same time as Universal Credit. It is a contributory benefit.
This means you may be able to get it if you’ve paid or been credited with enough National Insurance contributions in the 2 tax years before the year you’re claiming in.
