When do ESA Payments increase after medical, or do you get a letter first

Hi Everyone,
I completed my Medical assessment on 4th June, and my 13 Weeks are up next week. My question is will I receive a letter first to tell me which group I have been placed in or will I see an increase in my payments first, and will the backdated increase (If Any) go into the bank separately or just as part of the normal payment date.
Thanks.

You need to wait for the decision to be made which can take up to 12 weeks.
If placed into the Support Group money increases from week 14 of your claim. If there’s any money owed it will be paid separately to your usual money.
