Hi Bluecelestite,

This info would benefit me as i am waiting to find out if i have been put in support group.

This is all new to me and know nothing of support group and how it benefits me.

Hugs

Hi Jillybee

Hopefully someone will know i wonder if we have to pay for our perscriptions now too, dont want to get done for fraud i wonder how long u get in the support group too ?

If you're put in the support group, you're there til they decide to reassess you , anywhere between one and two years I think.

I think they then send out an ESA50 form for you to be reassessed and the whole merry go round starts again.
