I'm just wondering iff anybody knows iff I could be assessed to go in the ESA support group iff on sick ...I am still off work and have been since Christmas ....I applied for new style ESA and getting it but not been assessed properly I don't think ...I am starting to doubt whether I will be able to go back to full time work in my situation

Hi pauls1

When you apply for New Style ESA, you are placed in the assessment phase until you have an assessment. The assessment phase lasts for 13 weeks. When you have an assessment you will either be placed in the support group WRAG/LCW group or be found fit for work.

You need to have a look at our WCA guide;
