No medical but WRAG

Thanks for claifying, Gordon.

One further question, if you are in the WRAG does that come to an end at some point? I thought you stayed in that group, going for WFI as and when required until a couple of years down the line your claim is looked at again, but in reality is your ESA claim re-assessed every few months ? Is that the same in the support group?

So much to learn!!

Hi Shirley, I,ve been put on WRAG with no medical, just heard today.Not sure whether I'm happy or sad, or whether to appeal the decision as I am sick of forms and medical documents.I think they are trying to wear everybody down into submission.

Hi Shirley,

Unfortunately whether in the WRAG, or Support Group, claimants are being re-assessed, at varying intervals.

One would expect a longer review period if placed in The Support Group though.

The only way to find out an expected review date, (prognosis) whether for WRAG or Support, is to request either your ESA85, report after having a face to face assessment, or ESA85a if put in to either group, without having a face to face assessment.

This is why it is known as "The ESA Merrygoround".

Hopes this adds some clarity to what Gordon has already told you.

cheers

Thanks Gordon and bro58 for explaining further.

I think I can only hope for a lottery win to escape this "merry go round" while I still have one nerve-ending left!!!
