Letter from DWP

Received a letter today from DWP regarding my appeal for ESA stating that the decision has been lookeed at again and changed in my favour . What I want to know now is how do I know what group I am in. I stated in my appeal I think I should be in the support group. Does this mean I have been put in that or they could change it in my favour and still place me in the work realed group ?


Thanks

If the original decision was that you are not entitled to ESA, then you could have been put in either group.

OK thsnks, If I am put in the work related group which is only contribution based for 365 days, how do I know whether I am entitled to income based. What is the income requirements ?

Thanks, how do you know if ou meet the criteria for income based esa ?

You need to have assets of less than £16000 (although benefit will reduce if you have savings/assets over £6000). In addition your partner, if you have one, cannot work more than 24 hours per week and/;or earn more than aprox £150 per week.

I think these figures are accurate, they are certainly in the right ball-park.
