ESA.new illness
Thu 14-Jan-10 10:48 AM

Hi All
In the good old days, someone who was found capable of work under Incapacity Benefit rules, could make a new claim on the grounds that they have a new illness
I an unable to find the same condition under ESA rules in the CPAG handbook.
Does this still apply..?

Yes.

See page 59 of the Disability Rights Handbook which also directs you to the regs.
