Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) is a financial benefit in the United Kingdom designed to support individuals who are unable to work due to illness or disability. It provides financial assistance to help cover living costs while also offering personalized support to help claimants return to work when possible. ESA is divided into two main groups: the work-related activity group and the support group. The work-related activity group requires claimants to participate in activities that prepare them for employment, while the support group is for those who are not expected to work due to their condition.
