The Department for Work and Pensions has responsibility for Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) and Jobseekers Allowance (JSA) claims in England, Scotland and Wales only. The Department for Communities in Northern Ireland has responsibility for ESA and JSA claims in Northern Ireland, and as this is a devolved matter we do not hold this information.
