granted esa support with help from resources

Hi everyone

I just wNt to say a big THANYOU to this site for the information members can get to help them complete esa50 form. I have just been awarded esa support group and thought I might have a fight on my hands but havent thanks to the detailed guidance information you provide. Some people might say why should we join! Well money might be tight but this has saved me lots of upset and worry and has been well worth subscribing.

The time given to my application was applied 1 april 2015 by phone, completed esa50 which took afew attempts to read guidelines and relate it my situation and today 11 june outcome recieved with no medical. What a result!

One question though:

I have been receiving contributions based esa 73.10 from 8th april taking into account I cant bepaid for the first 7 days (apparently you must not exist for that week!) But support group payment does not start until 11 july? I am abit confused I thought the extra was to be paid after 12 weeks assesment rate which would make that 8th july and not 1 july or am I missing something?

Thanks for the quick response.

One other thing. On this site reassesments or reviews are mentioned and my award does not state a length of time the award is made for. What should I understand by this? Am I going to be reviewed and if so when?

Hi Maria,
