Employment and Support Allowance

Usual course length: 1-2 days

Courses can be tailor-made from the following elements:

  • Understanding the ‘current’ rules for Incapacity Benefit & Statutory Sick Pay
  • The Government’s purpose in bringing in this new benefit and the concerns raised about it
  • The structure of the Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
  • The medical tests for the ESA and the differences between the Personal Capability Assessment for Incapacity Benefit and that for the ESA
  • The sanctions which can be imposed for failing to follow the ESA rules, and the decisions which can be appealed
