ESA Finishing

Unfortunately the system would be ok if people were being assessed correctly. Far too many ill people who are unable to work are being put into the work related activity group and losing their appeals.
What happens to them after the year is up? Can they claim ESA again and apply for the support group?
Seems to me this is a way of saving money at the expense of the vunerable. Seems like they expect a husband or wife to support their partner not matter how much money is coming in.
What happens to a single person? I have been lucky so far - not health wise having been ill for 34 years and struggled. But if i dont pass my DLA then i have to try to live on £83 per week!!! Its frightening.
Even if i do then i will have to apply again for PIP in just one year when everything changes.
I have paid into the system all my life and struggled to live on part-time wages as i was told i didnt qualify for DLA
How is it that the people who pay in are being penalised?
Even someone who has good health - what happens if they are still unemployed after the year is up? Where are all the jobs that pay enough to live on?
The amount the Gov says you need to live on is ridiculous - even if you get Housing Benefit and dont pay coucil tax - how can £71 a week be enough? even with out a car you cant afford to eat and pay all the utility bills or dress well enough to go get a job.
Having said that i have managed so far and am grateful but many are being made more ill and their recovery impeded by all the worry caused by having to appeal being put into the wrong group.
Going back to work when you are ill wont make you better - just worse.
I worry we will end up with ill people living and dying on the streets.

Why cannot you be assessed again for support group????? Illnesses do deteriorate esp if you have been forced to work whilst ill because you have been denied the correct benefit.

My ESA also finishes at the end of April, & as my husband works we are struggling to work out how we are going to carry on! After an ATOS medical I was told my ESA was being stopped so I went to claim JSA but was told I was not fit to work so had no choice but to appeal the ESA decision, I won the appeal, but the toll it took on my mental & physical heath was terrible, I have a spinal cord tumour, Pernicious Anaemia, prolapsed vertebrae, crumbling spine & not surprisingly depression. The Benefits Agency lost my claim & lost 2 sick notes, which all held up me being paid for 3 months, consequently I am in a huge amount of debt from bank charges & late payment charges. We can not get any other help, I will try to get into the support group, but while that is assessed I have no idea how to cope! & as I will not be on ESA & unable to claim JSA will I have to pay for prescriptions, if so my health will get even worse as there will be no money to buy them Any advice will be welcome xxx

You say you won the appeal, so are you in the WRAG/SG/JESA/ESA. ?? It does not seem clear to me what you have won.
