So filled in my ESA form in December 2017\, had not heard anything so I rang up DWP to be told that I no longer need to send in Sickness NoteS from my GP. as have been put into the support group of esa, I have had nothing in writing to confirm this, and when i phone I just get told the Decision Maker is sorting things still, does it normally take ages.

Have you been put into the support group without a face to face assessment? Are you receiving the assessment rate? Once you attend a face to face they usually let you know within four weeks whereas they have decided no further assessment is necessary then it is probably a matter of waiting.. If they have made that decision already it cannot be long before you receive a letter confirming it.0

Hello Wendy1212, I was put in the support group on the evidence I presumed from my PIP acessment. So going by what you state a written confirmation letter should be arriving soon with a large back payment details if you are not yet receiving the correct support benefits amount. Keep us updated and keep,posting all these little snippets of information help and guide other and give reassurance to those who need it.0
