Hi DM,

Yes, your daughter must be assessed under the ESA WCA.

There will then be one of three outcomes, she may be found "fit for work" no ESA, or she could be placed in the the WRAG of ESA, or the Support Group of ESA.

If your daughter is now in receipt of ESA, at the Assessment Rate, as she is still in the Assessment Phase of ESA, she should not have to attend any WFI's or WRA, see this thread, where the member is in receipt of ESA Assessment Rate, whilst appealing :

Hi DM,

In that case, she should not be compelled to attend WFI's etc, until she has undergone the assessment process, and written confirmation has been received regarding an award of ESA, and which group she has been placed in, if not found "fit for work"
