Hi m1983,
I am assuming that you need proof that you are in receipt of ESA.
If you have lost your Decision Notice letter, have you still got the letter that you receive around April each year informing you of the annual upgrade to your benefit ?
If not, you can contact the DWP and ask them to send you a confirmation letter of your benefits entitlement, and a break down of the payment.
This should also include whether or not your ESA is IR ESA, CB ESA or both.
You could print off a copy of your bank statements, as your ESA payments will have ESA as the payment reference.
However, if you need proof that all or part of your ESA payment is IR ESA, a bank statement may not suffice.

As I understand it there are several schemes in operation.
A free boiler usually requires the claimant to be receiving an Income Related benefit such as (ESA(IR) and a Disability Benefit such as DLA. Your annual statement, "this is what we will pay you", should be sufficient proof.
A grant towards a new boiler is based on household income.
Just do an internet search for free boiler, there are plenty of links.
