I have just won my tribunal for esa but have been changed to the WRAG instead of support which i was on previously is this right.

no, you need to ask to be put in the support group, i was put into the wrong group and didnt realise that i could only get it for a year, when that ran out they stoped my money and thanks to a very nice girl for the DWP who helped me i appealed and asked for a reconsideration to be put into the support group which i eventually got and my money back dated, so good luck

[southLsoldier in reply to stitch1997]

Thanks for the reply. I have a letter from my clinical psychologist stating iam not ready to start looking for work and my solicitor is going to write a letter on my behalf as well. I hope this does it.

[esagestapo]

More info please, you appealed against what exactly, to get ESA or to be placed in SG?

[southLsoldier in reply to esagestapo]

I appealed for my ESA to be reinstated which i won, but they have put me the WRAG when previously i was in the support group.

[esagestapo]

Right, now you need to submit another appeal to get from WRAG to SG.

[southLsoldier in reply to esagestapo]

Will this go through the whole tribunal process again or is it an internal matter regarding the DWP.

[esagestapo]

A DM might reconsider the decision to put you in WRAG, if not, it will go to tribunal for a decision.

[southLsoldier in reply to esagestapo]

Im sorry for being ignorant but i dont know what a DM is.

[esagestapo]

Decision Maker, that's what they call the bods at the DWP who have the power to act on behalf of the Secretary of State.

[southLsoldier in reply to esagestapo]

Thanks for your swift response. Fingers crossed i wont have to go to tribunal again as i have already lost 12 months of my life to them.

[esagestapo]

Your welcome, it was a DM that put you in WRAG, fingers crossed, a DM will reverse that decision, saving you and them a lot of time.

Hi

I used to work as an Appeal Rep for the Cab before I became ill please be aware you can lose an award if the tribunal reassess your claim it does happen

[cjw064]

If you have recently applied for esa again but the tribunal was heard in relation to your previous app then yes this is possible to happen
