Esa wrag group. was created by Shirley
I'm hoping someone here can offer me a bit of insight. I've been awarded esa in the wrag group but feel I should be in the support group. I have multiple physical issues along with mental health issues. I do not qualify for income related benefit as my partner works at the moment. As I've been placed in the wrag group it is contribution based and will cease in April of this year. I am going to ask for a mandatory reconsideration as I feel I am not responsible for the health issues affecting me. And I have always been financially independent. Now come April I will have very little income. I don't want to ask my partner for financial help. And he is very likely getting made redundant in the very near future. I am finding it hard to cope with the pressure of losing my esa benefit. Is it worth my while going ahead with the mandatory reconsideration.

I am sure that it is just the terminology that you have used in your post but these are not acceptable reasons for an appeal.

To be placed in the SG you will need to show that you meet one or more the ESA SG Descriptors. Have a look at our ESA Claim guide for a list of these.
