put into the support group

Hi Katherine, that's brilliant news, hope you don't get reassessed any time soon!

Best wishes,
Rachel

i have contacted jobcentre plus and they have told me i will be reviewed in 6 or 12 months time. does that mean i have to go through all this questionairre again and have more stress

hi, i filled in the form as if it was my worst day. that is what i was told to do by benefit advisor. as fibromyalgia varies from day to day i put that it varies but on my worst day i cannot do anything at all and feel fatigued and couldnt funtion properly. i do hope this info helps.

Hi K,

I'm afraid that everyone that is awarded ESA, whether it be WRAG or SG will be re-assessed on an ongoing basis.

Claimants awarded SG status do tend to get longer awards.

The only way to be sure of the length of your SG award, is to request copy of your ESA85A, which will include your "prognosis" expected length of award before re-assessment.

To tell you it will either be 6 months or 12 months, would indicate that the person giving the information on the phone does not actually know.

It would be best to obtain it in writing on your ESA85A.
