My concerns are if I receive a decision say in April and it was for wrag (work group) would I be classed as a new claimant under the new rulings (WRAG = JSA PAYMENT?? Any help thanks
It doesn't matter as the changes you are referring to do not come into effect until April 2017

Hi 58u,
It is PIP fixed term awards that are reviewed 12 months before the end date, not ESA !!
ESA Assessments/Reassessments are generally done and dusted within 2-3 months of you receiving the ESA50 !
You will continue to receive your current level of benefit until a decision is made !
