I recently requested, on the advice of my personal advisor that the DWP look agaijn at their decision to place me in the WRAG as my health deteriorated due to heart attack and having quadrupal bypass surgery. Once I have recovered from this I shall be put on transplant list for pancreas and kidney transplant. I have just heard that they have NOT changed their decision. I shall appeal but don't fit the descriptors for the support group. What can you advise me - am I eligible for Support Group under regulation 35?

Thank you

To qualify under Regulation 35 you will need to show that your performing Work Related Activity would be a danger to yours or anothers health.

So you need to think about how your condition(s) affect you in this contact, so for example would your attending a WFI endanger you? What about a training course for a couple of days? If you were forwarded to the Work Programme and were required to carry out voluntary work, would this affect you?

Have a look at our ESA Claim guides, there is a section that covers qualifying for the Support Group on Exceptional Grounds, see

Qualifying for the Support Group
