Anyone know what is entailed in the WRAG please?

I am in the contributory Support Group and wondered if they could take me out and put me in WRAG?

Is WRAG means tested?

Can you appeal against this decision, (Hypothetical).

If your in the support group don’t even think about WRAG This is Work Related activity Group and you can only stay on this for 12 months and you are asked to attend meetings. The support group you can stay in unless anything changes and you may still have to fill in the ESA forms. Go to Citizens advice website and check out the differences or Benefits and Work.

Thank you for your reply Sassy54. It is hypothetical but I'm so concerned. I sent back a reassessment 'book' with medical evidence, supporting my claim, of which 2 diaries were returned to me, so they are not with the other evidence. I have tried to find out why this was returned so quickly but following over almost 3 hours 'on hold' the officer could not tell me! he said everything has gone to the DWP now and he was not allowed to tell me anything and I feel was talking in riddles. I should really wait for the decision in writing but it is so difficult and could drag on for weeks; wondering what is going on. I have deteriorated since the last assessment so hopefully I will be left in the contributory support group? There is no way I can attend work related interviews, I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia together with other illnesses including PTSD and have a current medical certificate stating I am too ill to go back to work. (Worked for over 30 years paying a full stamp). Thank you again, I am a member of Benefits and work and thay helped filling the forms in.
