Placed in the support group but for how long?

Last year when I'd been placed in the WRAG group I'd requested a statement of reasons thingy, but it didn't have much info in it, an certainly nothing that stated how long I was expected to be on it.
So my question is what do I ask for that would give me this info? I know they can reassess you at any time, but I always thought the DM was meant to give you at least a rough idea.
Thanks.

If you request your ESA85A report, the prognosis is usually used to set the next assessment date.I've been placed in the support group without a medical and like before I have no idea for how long.

I'll request one, but what happens If I get the same lot of blanks as before? Would anyone at the DWP know?

I think thats what I received last time, and it had very little info on it. It certainly didn't say for how long they thought I would be ill for.

Hi JM,
You can make your request formal, using a SAR, see :
www.dwp.gov.uk/privacy-policy/data-protection/
SAR Download link here :
www.dwp.gov.uk/docs/request-for-personal-information.rtf
To cover all bases, you could request all corespondence and documentation/reports used in coming to the decision of your WRAG award, written or electronic, held by the DWP and ATOS.

Some members have had success in getting this information by phoning the DWP call centres.I think thats what I received last time, and it had very little info on it. It certainly didn't say for how long they thought I would be ill for.
