Hi Rosehip, after assessment I was also put into the Work Related Activity Group, I sent off and asked for a reconsideration because I felt I should be in support group and gave details of how I met several of the Support Group Criteria, 7 days later received a phone call to say they had reconsidered and they were placing me in the support group and would re assess this in 3 years. I haven't received a new medical request(I did go for one prior to decision). Hope this helps slightly as I noticed nobody else had responded so thought I would give at least one response- Good Luck xxx
