Details

This report presents a health, social and economic profile of a sample of Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) claimants living in England in 2014.

This analysis was carried out in order to understand more about the specific barriers and challenges ESA claimants face, which may help inform the provision of appropriate support to help with moving towards or into employment.

ESA is a benefit aimed at people with a health condition or disability that affects how much they can work. It is designed to help with living costs if you are unable to work and to provide support to get back into work for those who are able to.
