I am afraid your condition not improving is not reason to be placed in the Support Group.

You need to show, with relevant medical evidence, that there has been deterioration in your condition since the last Decision on your claim (not the Tribunal), such that you now meet the criteria for the SG, see

Qualifying for the Support Group

If you can do this then you need to request a SuperSession (re-assessment) of your claim on this basis. At the very least you will need to complete a new ESA50, and will probably be required to attend a medical. Your request can be made over the phone but should be confirmed in writing by Recorded Delivery.

You need to be aware that your ESA payments will still cease, while this process is carried out, and will only be re-instated if you are placed in the SG.
