Without knowing your health problems, it's difficult to say...The Citizen's Advice Bureau would be able to tell you about the different benefits and how they work. They helped me with ESA and DLA, the paperwork was just too much for me...Hope this has helped! Gentle hugs, blessings, and angels to you xoxo

I`m in the work related group, its redick, I went for a back to work meeting in March. They can see how I am when I get there ie how ill, and struggling even to get in the place! But in March I was told that if I havent got an appeal date by July then I have to make myself active for looking for work. Theres no chance of getting an appeal before Oct so as from July I am suppose to work. Who will employ me? I cant pick things up, walk properly without constent pain, cant think straight or put a sentence together some days. I do Have a Welfare Law Consultancy working for me but they can only wait the same as me for an appeal date Ann

I've just heard that I've been placed in the Support Group, and will get paid from 13th July to 29th November 2012.

No, if you're in the support group you get ESA indefinitely - or until they assess you again.

i am in the WRAG and have been since july last year, have to go every 2 months to see work advisor and he says i shouldnt be in that group, on applying for esa i was told i had psoriatic arthritis and was told by atos i would be reviewed in 6 months, in november they sent me the forms again and by then i was told it was fibro, i filled them in saying it was this and wanting it dealt with by someone who knew fibro, never heard bk from atos, just a letter from DWP saying with the new info i would carry on as before and then in april got a letter saying i on esa until i either get a job or come off it myself, think its disgusting how some people are having to appeal and appeal to get whats rightfully owed to them for this illness x
