At present the Department of Work and Pension (DWP) is trying to clean up their list to eliminate the recipients of Employment and Support Allowance (ESA). Eventually people who will surely get affected with the change are those who are found by the department to be fit enough to work. However, in the first quarter of this year it was recorded that a total of 97,000 or 71% of those rejected to receive the benefits are already seeking an ESA appeal.
To better understand, ESA is available for people who have disability or illness that affects their ability to work. It is composed of two types which are contributory and income related. The latter is described when you have very low income, have a savings less than 16,000 and have not paid enough National Insurance contributions. Meanwhile, contributory ESA means that enough contributions were paid. The length of time the recipient can enjoy the benefit will vary depending on the person's circumstances whether they will be categorized according to two groups namely work-related or support group.

Throughout the assessment phase which will take a minimum of 13 weeks the applicant will be examine depending on their particular capacity to work and will be interviewed on how much they can focus on any work.

If for any reason the applicant will receive low points to enable them for ESA they have the right to file an ESA appeal to an independent appeal tribunal.
It has to be taken into account that the claimants are only given 30 days to ask the DWP to reconsider their case or to file an ESA appeal. Since the rules are strict with a deadline, missing it will make it difficult to take further action on the case. At this point, it will be best if a professional adviser is hired to assist the claimant on how to go about with the procedure although this option is not actually required.

Additionally, a list of "suggested descriptions" can be provided to the tribunal by the counselors that will support in raising considerable proof that the applicant is definitely qualified to receive ESA.
