Query after ESA Tribunal Decision was created by 18BG
It is my 1st time on the forum, so apologies if I am not doing this correctly.
I was on ESA (support grp) from Nov 2011 to Nov 2017. In Nov 2017, I was reassessed and was found to be capable of work. I did a MR and it was rejected. I then appealed to the Tribunal and had a hearing earlier this mth. I have been awarded ESA but placed in the WRAG.
As my ESA is contribution based, I am been advised by the DWP it will cease in Nov 2018 as it can only be paid for a maximum of 365 days.
Is there anything I can do further to try to get back in the support group?

Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explains where everything is
Welcome to Benefits and Work
In case you are not aware, your real name appears to be showing in the forum, if you want to change this then follow the instructions in the following FAQ
My full name is showing, how can I stop it?
The obvious question has to be can you now show that you meet one or more the Support Group Descriptors? See our ESA Claim guides for a list and explanation of these.

Do you have up to date evidence to support the change?
If you are happy that you can show you should be in the SG then write to the DWP office dealing with your claim telling them of the Change. Be aware that doing this will result in a full reassessment of your claim and the Decision that will result will replace your current award, whatever it is.
