Hi m1983,

It is impossible to say whether you, or anyone else would be put into the support group due to the limitations caused by your medical conditions.

However, the best way to improve your chances of gaining SG status is to use our guides and go into detail as to how your suffered limitations qualify you for SG status.

cheers

Hi m1983,

Amongst the ESA Guides that can be accessed from this link. :

www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/help-for-claimants/esa

There is one on claiming ESA on physical health grounds, and another on claiming ESA on mental health or learning difficulty grounds.

3rd and 4th links down.

cheers

Hi m1983,

Have you considered starting to fill in your ESA50 now using our guides, see here. :

Use Of The Interactive PDF Version Of The ESA50 Questionnaire

This may help relieve the pressure, as the length of time allowed to fill in and return your ESA50, once you receive it has been cut from 6 weeks to 4 weeks, see here. :

How long do I have to complete the ESA50?

cheers
