Income-related ESA (Employment and Support Allowance) is a financial support program in the UK designed for individuals who are unable to work due to illness or disability. It provides assistance to those with limited income and savings, helping them meet their basic living costs while they seek to improve their health or find suitable employment. To qualify for income-related ESA, applicants must meet specific criteria, including having a low income and limited savings. The amount received depends on individual circumstances, such as household income and any other benefits claimed. This support aims to ensure that individuals can maintain a basic standard of living during challenging times.
