Hi,
Firstly I am aware that Support Group as changed its name but I have forgotten what too!

My question is - When I submit my reasons to change to ESA Wrag Group to ESA support group - (I have stated examples that do qualify me for the Support Group). I am receiving ESA Wrag group entitlement at the moment..

However, when I am assessed how will the point system work? Will points be totalized from the wrag group (which I am getting) as well as the Support group points that (hopefully) I will be qualified for?

Hi Gill

To get placed in the support group, it is not based on points. There are two parts to the work capability assessment :-

The first part looks at whether you have 'limited capability for work' (LCW) (WRAG)
The second part looks at whether you have a 'limited capability for work related activity' (LCWRA) (Support)

In order to qualify for the Support Group you need to;

* meet one or more of the relevant descriptors, or
* meet one of the associated Exceptional Circumstances rules.

The Support Group descriptors and the Exceptional Circumstances are listed in the Claiming ESA guides in the members area.
