ESA UK: DWP change rules on application process for New Style claims - full details

From here, a claimant may be moved into the main phase if they’re found to have limited capabilities for work.

When this happens, claimants will continue to receive the basic allowance with an additional support component of £39.20 per week.

These payments will arrive every two weeks into a bank, building society or credit union account.

If a claimant gets an occupational or personal pension that pays more than £85 a week, the ESA payments will be reduced by half of the amount over the £85 limit.
