length of time of benefit

I note some posters are saying they have been put into wrag etc for a specific amount of time. Mrs J has just had her result putting her in WRAG but nowhere can I see how long this is for. Am I missing it.? It would be useful to know how long till the next bunfight!

I think the WRAG is usually for 12 months

OK, there's two senses in which you can be put in the WRAG for a certain amount of time.

Firstly, when you're put in the WRAG, the decision maker notes when it would be appropriate to review your entitlement based on how soon the Atos practitioner thinks you will be fit for work. This amount of time is not set in stone.

Secondly, you will read about the time scale of a year for people in the WRAG in general, and this refers to new provisions in relation to the length of time which someone can receive contributions-based ESA, which is limited to a year. For a clear explanation of this by my colleague, see this link. www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/forum?func=view&catid=10&id=83720
