Is ESA- taxable benefit if only getting NI credit

At the risk of confusing you
yes and no!
ESA(CB) is liable to tax, but it is the amount of ESA(CB) that you are receiving that they are really interested in, so, as you are no longer receiving any payments you should tell HMRC this.

Am trying to complete one of the HMRC forms and am not sure if this statement applies-
" since last 6 April they have had Employment and Support Allowance or taxable Incapacity Benefit."
Since 6th April I am on ESA but have not received any benefit (365 days ended last August) only NI credits
