The Welfare Reform Bill, which is not yet law, will limit the receipt of ESA(CB) to one year for members of the WRAG, but not the Support Group.

After the year, affected ESA claimants will be eligible for ESA(IR), subject to their meeting the associated means test.

So as you are currently in the Support Group, this will not affect you, while you remain so.
