I've just recently applied for ESA. Today i have received a letter telling me I am not entitled to ESA, because I have not paid, or been credited with, enough National Insurance Contributions from April 2013 to April 2014.
I'm really confused as, I work 20 hours per week for a very large company and they pay my NI contributions and always have done.
I'm so confused, and just really don't know what to do.

You need to request a National Insurance statement from HMRC, if this show s sufficient NICs have been paid then you can contact the DWP again with the information, if it does not then you to contact your employer.
