Sorry to ask this i may seem a bit thick,
my position is i was put into WRAg in August 2011, and my review is due in MAY this year. If at my review i am then put into support group would i be then entitled to recieve con ESA as long as i stay in support group.

On the assumption that you are receiving ESA(CB).

If at the time that a Decision is made on any future re-assessment, you have spent less than 366 (731?) days in the WRAG, then you will continue to be eligible to receive ESA(CB).

If at that re-assessment you are moved to the Support Group, then the count of days stops, so you would continue to receive ESA indefinately, while you remain in the Support Group.

If at some time in the future, you are moved back into the WRAG, then the count continues (i.e. it does not reset), and you would continue to receive ESA(CB) until you have exceeded the 365 days, at which time you will become eligible for ESA(IR), subject to the associated means test.

Hope this explains it.
