A friend has recently been moved from the Support Group of ESA to the WRAG. His ESA has been reduced a little but he also seems to have lost £15.75 a week which is the Disability Income Guarantee. Why would this be? I'm not quite sure what the Disability Income Guarantee is. Thanks.

Hi I,
Yes, they will receive less !
In The Support Group (SG) = Personal Allowance = £73.10/Week + S G Component Addition = £36.20/Week + Enhanced Disability Premium (EDP) (also known as Disability Income Guarantee) = £15.75/Week
Total = £125.05/Week
In The WRAG = Personal Allowance = £73.10/Week + WRAG Component Addition = £29.05/Week.
Total = £102.15/Week
So being placed into WRAG makes them £22.90/Week worse off.
The WRA Component Addition is £7.15/Week less than The SG Component Addition, and they have lost the £15.75/Week EDP as they are no longer in The SG.
