Do you think do I go in the work related group or the support group. I do have hidden disabilities.

Hi,No one can tell you which group you could be placed into. It depends on how your conditions affect you and your ability to do any type of work. When being assessed for ESA is the work you can do and not the work you can't do that matters. For the WRAG you need to score at least 15 points. See this link for the descriptors.For Support Group it's not about points, it's about satisfying at least 1 of the descriptors here.There's also reg29 for WRAG and reg 35 for ESA which are both special circumstances, if you're a risk to yourself or others.Evidence is needed to support a claim.
