Very soon, people on Incapacity Benefit, Severe Disablement Allowance and 'incapacity related' Income Support will have to undergo the Employment and Support Allowance(ESA) test. If they pass the test they will go onto Employment and Support Allowance. If they fail it, they will have to:

• claim Jobseekers Allowance


• find work or


• find another reason for remaining on Income Support like being a carer.

 If you are called for an assessment, it is important that you know as much as       possible about the Employment and Support Allowance and the Work Capability Assessment. To view the guidance issued by the Department for Work and Pensions, please click on the link below:-
