Special Reasons for support group missing ?

Like many I have been looking at this stuff

www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2011/228/made/data.pdf

Now I was aimed at page 9 which tells you what gets you in the support group... but I can find the other ways you can get in at present for example something is wrong with you and its not controlled by normal drug treatment ect ect and a couple of other ways have they gone now ? I am sure they formed part of ESA too ?

The legislation that you are looking at are just the amendments and only detail the changes. The Employment and Support Allowance Regulations 2008 (that have not been amended since) are still in force, and you can read them on the same website.

Unfortunately for secondary legislation they don't publish the full current legislation, but I think the DWP site does, when they have updated their volumes.
