You might want to check your eligibility for Income Related ESA, as I am not sure that your sisters income or working hours are considered in regard the means test.Just back from seeing CAB am going ahead and appealing as I've nothing to lose as at the end of my 365 days are up I'll get no money at all as i live with my sister in our own home and she works full time so I cant claim Income related ESA so I'll have no money at all. now got to decide which one to go for - look at the decision again or appeal?

Just been to my first interview at my job centre after going though my details she said she was going to give me two Dvds that i should watch on how to get back to work and if i decided to do the course i had to be very sure i could attend all the course and it wouldn't be to much for me i then told her that I had put in appealed to be put in the support group and she said that we stop everything there and await the decision on that and she would phone me in around 4 weeks time and if i was still in the same group she send me the dvds - what i didnt ask her is would my money still be paid and if i decided not to do the course would my money still be paid! hope my questions make sense!

You are required to participate in Work Related Activity whilst in the WRAG, although reasonable attention must be taken of your conditions with regard to what you are requested to do. Failing to do so, without Good Cause, can lead to the sanctioning of the WRAG component of your benefit, however, you should be given an opportunity to explain yourself first.
It's also important to note that appealing to be placed in the Support Group does not excuse you from Work Related Activity, although it does mean you should not be forwarded to the Work Programme.

There should be no reason why the postponement of this activity should effect your ESA payments.Just been to my first interview at my job centre after going though my details she said she was going to give me two Dvds that i should watch on how to get back to work and if i decided to do the course i had to be very sure i could attend all the course and it wouldn't be to much for me i then told her that I had put in appealed to be put in the support group and she said that we stop everything there and await the decision on that and she would phone me in around 4 weeks time and if i was still in the same group she send me the dvds - what i didnt ask her is would my money still be paid and if i decided not to do the course would my money still be paid! hope my questions make sense!
