How to file for the Employment and Support Allowance Claim?

by Vidit Agarwal Marketing Director

Once you decide that you want to claim the Employment and Support Allowance, you can go ahead and file for it by either calling Jobcentre plus attt 0800 055 6688 between 8 AM to 6 PM on weekdays, i.e. from Monday to Friday or by filling the online form ‘ESA1’ on the government website and taking a copy of it to your local Jobcentre Plus office. In the case of any disputes regarding the decision made, you can call 0345 608 8545 & 0300 123 1142, or if you have any other complaint, calls can be made to 0345 608 8545.

Remember that the entire process can take up a lot of time and can go on for quite a few months or even a year from the date of your filing. However, while your form is being assessed and the concerned authorities, in the first look feel that you will eventually be entitled to the claim, you will get a small amount of payment within a few weeks, and at regular intervals thereafter, to help you through the assessment phase. Despite it being a lengthy and tiresome process, the Employment and Support Allowance is a very good measure to support the ones who actually need it and enhance their way of living. It is one of the best ways that the State has adopted to improve the welfare of the society.
