Hi @julierose

You have to have a "limited capability for work related activity" to be placed in the support group. The criteria is listed in appendix 3 here (you have to scroll down a long way) http://www.disabilityrightsuk.org/work-capability-assessment.

I suggest you have a look at the webpage above and post again if you'd like further help.

Best wishes
