ESA (work related) to ESA (support group) Advice was created by Oliversudden
Hello my name is Oliver I have been on ESA work related for about 2 years now I suffer from mental Illness and I'm on the waiting list to see a therapist I never ever knew support group existed up untill a few weeks ago and I strongly feel like I should be put into that group.
As I have been on work related for 2 years I have never ever been asked for a medical and obviously I can't appeal or ask for a mandatory reconsideration because of the length I have been on this.
I would like to ask what my options are to be transferred to support group.
1. Call esa and ask for a medical
2. Put in a new claim and cancel my current one
3. Send them a letter with why I should be moved
Please please can someone help me

O
Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explain where everything is
Welcome to Benefits and Work
In case you are not aware, your real name appears to be showing in the forum, if you want to change this then follow the instructions in the following FAQ
My full name is showing, how can I stop it?
The Support Group has very specific criteria that need to be met, do you think that you meet these?
The ESA Claim guides have a list of the SG Descriptors.
www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/help-for-claimants/esa1
If you do think that you meet the criteria then you should contact the DWP office dealing with your claim and ask to be reassessed.
Be aware that the will be a full review of your award, a new ESA50 and almost certainly a face to face assessment. You must show that you meet one or more of the SG Descriptors and provide evidence to support this.
If you have further questions then please reply to this post and we will do our best to help.
