To appeal to be placed in the Support Group, you are going to have to show you meet one or more of the SG criteria.

The first thing to do is to request from the DWP your ESA85 medical report if you had a medical, or the ESA85A if you didn't. You should also ask for the ESA65 or a Statement of Reasons explaining what points you you scored for the WRAG.

To lodge an appeal you need to complete a GL24 Appeal form and return it within one month of the date on the Decision Letter awarding you ESA.

You should have a look at our ESA Appeals guide on how to complete the GL24 and what the appeal process consists of.

Our ESA claim guides include details of the Support Group criteria.

If you have any specific questions, please come back to the forum.
