esa support group was created by edward
i had a brain haemorrhage a few years ago which was an anuerysm which burst,
at the time i had surgery to have it coiled.
my question is i was recently told i would need more surgery which i feel quite nervous about due to the risks involved,i am currently on incapacity benefit and i'm exempt from the from the pca test,when i am transfered to esa will i be put in the support group and do i have to have the surgery to qualify?

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems

To be placed in the Support Group you will need to meet one or more of the criteria, these are listed on page 25 of the Understanding ESA guide in the Members area.
You are entitled to reasonably refuse treatment, so whether you have the surgery or not, should be be a factor.
