How often are you reviewed when you're in the support group?
Does it just happen without warning?
Is it paperbased, face to face?
I'm in the support group and I've had no follow up or contact with anyone since my award started last may

It’s an ongoing award until a new decision says otherwise.If it’s just ESA you’re claiming and not UC as well then yes, it will be without warning and you will just receive the ESA50 form in the post.
In normal times it can be anything from 3 months but these are not normal times and very few people have been reviewed since 2020 because for most of that time they have been suspended. At the moment they are concentrating on the work group mostly.1 -
Can you stay on esa permanently if you are unfit for work?0

If this is New style ESA then you will remain on this in the Support Group until a new decision says otherwise.

I was reassessed last year out of the blue after being in the esa cb support group for several years.
It was a telephone assessment that lasted about an hour and a half.
It was very thorough and it was obvious the assessor had read all of the evidence I had provided.
I had a decision in my favour from the dwp within a few weeks.0 -
Hi @Broreb1981
Here’s my experience
I was placed in the ESA support group in 2013
I then heard nothing until June2023 when I received a capability for work questionnaire esa50 which was promptly returned and signed as received 3 weeks later…..fast forward 41 weeks to now…. heard nothing!
I’m still being paid so they must be happy :-)
