    Unless you were claiming Carers Allowance then NI credit don't count i'm afraid. You need to have worked and paid enough NI contributions from March 2016 to April 2018 to be able to claim New style ESA.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
