I went to citizens advice bureau and was advised not to appeal to move to support group-I am in wrag wrag ends after 1 year but dwp don't let on that means tested income support is available why- because they want to chuck all ill people from work group onto jsa-do not fall for this scam-if you are single state on form esa 3 that you have no other income-some people will be no worse off financially-of course if you are married etc its different- but beware that under this botched system appealing could end up worse off ie wrag group to jsa
