I'm new to this site. I am in support group ESA but just been sent a new form to claim again! I have sent form off and awaiting to see if I have to go for f/face . My question is I not long ago passed my P.I.P (though they dropped me to standard mobility) if I get put in wrag group will I lose my P.I.P ?

Hi itpot and welcome
PIP and ESA are separate benefits, You will not lose your PIP award . Many people work full time and still meet the criteria for PIP

itpot,
As CR has advised, PIP and ESA are separate. PIP isn't a work-related benefit at all, so don't worry, you will still get your PIP whatever happens to your ESA.
If you have a long-term condition, it's possible that after this next assessment they'll tell you that you won't be assessed again. It depends whether you are likely to improve or be able to work in the future, though. You can only avoid further reassessments if you get in the support group again as well as meeting the other conditions and being unlikely to experience an improvement, and even then it still depends on the assessor's report.

Thank you very much Steve 51 for taken the time to post the links, I'm very stressed about the whole process of having to go through it all again! especially as I'm already in the support group,
Also thank you Will, fingers crossed I haven't heard anything yet!
Sorry its taken so long to reply I've not been too good at the moment. But you never know tomorrow is a new day!
Good luck to all whom are waiting!
