How long is a piece of string

It depends on how bust they are

And if you will be put in Support Group who knows only DWP

good luck

Hi

Expect to wait anything between 14/28 days.

You won't know what group you will be put in till you get your results.

I got mine within a week which was very fast, never expected so fast.

Have nice evening

Up to 6 weeks we were told but we heard after 3 weeks.The DWP decide what group you are placed in or you might not qualify for it at all.

Hi jamesbond1966

I sincerely hope that you are feeling as well as you possibly can be today? Welcome to the forum and it is wonderful to make your acquaintance. I have pasted for you below a link to our mother site, FMA UK which hosts loads of useful Fibro information:

It can take quite a few weeks to hear back but I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck and please take care of yourself my friend.

All my hopes and dreams for you

ESA comes into 2 groups WRAG and Support.

WRAG = Work Related Activity Group

This is if they deem you fit enough for work that would not interfere with your conditions? You will need to attend groups/meetings to look for a suitable job.

Support

If they deem you unfit for any long or short term work due to your conditions.

You do not need to attend groups/meetings to look for a suitable job.

Both these can be reviewed at a time the DWP decide

Be Well
