So that's it posted and hopefully my ESA will be reinstated soon .... Have a fab day in this heat ....as for me I'm indoors with the fan on lol xxx

I truly hope you get your ESA reinstated, but be aware a lot of us have ended up not in the support group. I'm telling you this as a message of hope, not despair, because I have been in the WRAG and my money hasn't changed all the have to do is go once every six months to the jobcentre where I see a really kind lady who realises how there is no way I'm fit for work. Still I hope you get the security of being in the support group 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😀

Im in the wrag group too but i have to go to the job centre every

fortnight, how do you only go once every 6 months ?

Everything I can cross is crossed for you. Its a constant battle isnt it? Good luck and gentle hugs Joolz.x

Good luck. As Foggy said I do hope you get your ESA reinstated. It does seem to be par for the course that the majority of people are put into the WRAG group straight away.

I was put in WRAG, spent ages appealing and months later was moved to Support Group.

However, the lady at the Job Centre still calls me on a regular basis and the last time she called she said how much better I sounded 😳. She said she wanted to be prepared for when I'm moved over to WRAG!

Since that call I've had a chest infection, pneumonia and and huge blisters all over my neck and hands, which are undiagnosed.

It's a constant worry for me as though I don't have enough stress already in my life.

Fingers crossed x
