in Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
Hi, 
I'm on esa wrag income related,
I need to move from wrag to support group and was wondering if anyone had the address I need to send the evidence to? 
Was in a panic on the phone and didn't write it down and don't want to call back 😂

    You will need to ring ESA to report changes and then you’ll be sent another work capability assessment form. 
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    I just came off the phone from them they didn't mention being sent a form, just said that I need to send a letter asking to be put in the support group, along with any evidence from gp. They gave an address but silly me didn't write it down and I'm dreading calling back 😂

    This isn't correct, you will need to be referred for another work capability assessment. Once this is done you'll be sent the ESA50 forms to fill in and return with all your supporting evidence.

    Can this be done online or do I have to call them again?

    It can be filled in online and then the form downloaded but you can't just send the form without a referral. If you do this the Health Assessment Advisory Service will not accept the form.
