Only difference was that he received 29.05 activity group on esa
and 32.25 disability premium on JSA.
So am I right that if he asks to go back on ESA he will receive 73.10 plus enhanced disability plus severe disability.
The only benefit he won't receive is the client work activity portion of 29.05?

Yes, that's correct but you may need to chase the DWP as not all DM's understand that the Premiums are payable on the Assessment rate.

Yes, a revised Decision applies from the same date as the one that removed his benefit, he will receive back pay for the difference between what he should have received and what he has actually received from JSA and ESA.

The DWP have now agreed my son can go back on ESA until his appeal.
He saw his doctor today who has given him a Fit Note.
My son asked his doctor about a letter of support. The doctor said he just doesn't put a letter together but there are forms to fill in which (someone) will send?
My son wasn't sure if the tribunal or the DWP send these forms or whether my son has to request them.
Thank you.

There are no forms, other than the SSCS1, involved in an appeal. If his GP does not comment themselves then no one seek further evidence from hm.
