Employment and support allowance is for people who find it harder to get a job because

they have a disability
they have a problem with their health and will have this problem for a long time or the rest of their lives

It replaces 2 benefits

incapacity benefit and
income support (because of a disability)

Since 27 October 2008 people who get benefits for the first time because they have a disability or health problems will be on employment and support allowance.

Now people who have been getting incapacity benefit and income support because of their disability or health problems are being moved onto employment and support allowance.
