The DWP has updated its guidance to clarify how to prove eligibility for employment and support allowance (ESA) for those who are claiming due to coronavirus (COVID-19).
In an updated version of New Style Employment and Support Allowance, the DWP confirms the evidence required to prove that a person is eligible for ESA if they are self-isolating or shielding due to COVID-19 -
NB - the DWP advises that once an ESA application has been made, the person will be contacted by phone and told when to give the evidence and where to send it.
