After Esa Assessment? was created by Cazziej007
I just wondered how this ESA works -I've had grief reaction/depression since my darling son was killed in Afghanistan and after a back operation for a prolapse disc L5/S1 which has left me in constant pain from damaged nerves - bad sciatica all the time. It seems that they split you into two groups, a working group and another. My job is still open until beginning of September which will be a year I've been off. Can they say that I HAVE to go back - I just couldn't at the moment I'm awaiting a caudal block and epidural injection which I'm pinning my hopes on. After the Assessment if I'm put in the 'working' one, how does that work? I've never been in this position before so I'm ignorant, sorry.

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
It is perfectly possible to be awarded ESA and still be employed, if an award is made then they will not say to you that you have to go back to work.
If you are placed in the Work Related Activity Group, then you can be asked to attend Work Focussed Interviews and to participate in Work Related Activity, the WRA will be dependant on your conditions and your circumstances
Where are you in the process? Have you received an ESA50 yet?
ESA has very specific criteria that you need to meet so I would have a look at our ESA Claim guides.

If you have further questions then please reply to this post and we will do our best to help.
