Hi bf,

Which group of ESA were you placed in by The Tribunal, WRAG or The Support Group ?

Hi bf,

If you were transferred over from another benefit to ESA, you should not receive any less than you did before transfer, see : What will I be paid?

Hi bf,

Thanks for the clarification.

Well done on being placed into The SG, and thanks for letting us know !!

In that case, you should receive no less than you were previously receiving on IS before your transfer to ESA.

The Tribunal decision to place you in The SG should now be backdated to the time of the original fit for work decision that you successfully appealed.

You should be paid all backpayment owed from that date to present.

As you were previously in receipt of IS, you will now be paid Income Related ESA in The SG.

As there is no 365 day limit to payment of ESA for claimants in The SG, you will continue to receive payment for as long as you remain in The SG.

You will be liable to reassessment at regular intervals, see :

How often will I be reviewed

If you haven't yet received your backpayment, it may speed things up if you send a copy of The Tribunal Decision to the DWP Benefits Office that deals with your ESA, see :

Sending Documents to the DWP or ATOS

Hi bf,

I should have stated that there is also no 365 day limit to payment of Income Related ESA even if you are placed into The WRAG in a future reassessment, see :

12 Month Limit for ESA(CB)

You do not have to take part in Work Focussed Interviews or WRA whilst you are in The SG, you can do so voluntarily if you wish.
