Increase Contributions Based ESA and include health care costs

Petition Details

Contributions Based ESA is a benefit that largely goes ignored. We get no help with healthcare costs i.e glasses, dental treatment, prescriptions. Because of this, this benefit should be the same rate as income related to reflect in loss of healthcare costs.

Additional Information

Contributions Based ESA should go up in line with living standards, we do not get help with healthcare costs which makes it very difficult to pay for health care needs. In every budget, this benefit is largely ignored, and we got no extra financial help during lockdown either. We require for healthcare costs to be automatically included in this benefit, and for this benefit to be increased.
