How long am I in the support group for?

Firstly, a big thank you. The membership fee was worth every penny as your guide helped me be put straight into the support group without a medical. I was being transferred from IB and IS and it has taken 3 months for the DWP to let me know the decision.

I feel so relieved. The stress of receiving the form caused me to have my first breakdown in 4 years and although I was starting to recover, it wasn't until I knew for sure I would be in the support group that I felt like I could smile again.

However, nowhere on the letter does it say how long the award lasts.

In the breakdown of how much I will receive though it says these figures are valid from 9th July until 20th August 2013. Surely they're not going to review me after just a month?
I have been paying off a social fund loan though so wonder if it means I will complete paying it off in August.

I'm scared to ring the DWP to ask in case I go back on their radar again.

A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who helped me through this fiasco with ESA .................................................I went from ESA to support group in 2 weeks with no medical , but I had to submit some medical history from Hospital specialists , the job centre sent for me for a interview , when they seen me attend they could not believe I was put on ESA in the first place .Again , thank you

Hi J,

Congratulations on what would seem to be a successful review placing you into The SG, from The WRAG of ESA.

You can follow the advice on the previous post :

If you wish to know the recommended period before you will be reassessed once more.

They should have access to the prognosis on-screen, if you contact the DWP on the 0845 number on any letters that you have regarding your ESA.

Thanks for the kind words regarding B&W.
