So what will all those who like me fail the means test due our savings do after all our money is used up ?

So is what they are saying once you are off means tested ESA you will never get back on regardless of your situation either health wise or financially ??

The reference in question was to those who failed the means test AND had not re-qualified for ESA(CB).

If you initially fail the means test and subsequently, due a reasonable change of circumstances, then meet the requirements of the means test, you can apply for ESA(IR), it is not clear at this time, whether the linking rules would apply or whether this would be considered a new claim.

ps you would still be in the Support Group, you just wouldn't get any money, as far as I am aware.

The legislation is quite clear that entitlement to ESA(CB) ceases if the time limit is met, therefore a claimant in this position would not be placed back into the Support Group.

Sorry Gordon, poor English on my part.

What I meant was that if you were eligible for the Support Group but not ESA (CB), it is still possible to be in that group but not receive benefit?

Best wishes,
Rachel

I'm confused now. I moved form IB to ESA and I'm single and have no savings (unable to work for many years)...what happens to me after the year is up? I think all of this legislation is gobbledygook.
