Hi,It means you've been placed into the Support Group but the amounts you've put here of £108.95 per week and not support groups rates. May i ask if you're claiming Income related or Contributions based and do you have any deductions from your ESA for anything?Support Group rates for Contributions based now are £111.65. Income related Support Group is £128.45 per week (single person)

just electric and so i passed my medical so too speak and kept the benefit em the letter was not clear it did not even mention my medical

ESA decision letters are always very vague and only give the most basic information. Timescales are never added to the letters because you can be re-assessed anytime from 3 months.

ok thanks so it seems like i kept it

Looks to be self explanationany it just reading the letters a few times to understand their terminology. Well done you can now see what other help is available to you.

i was just confused as it mention due too a recent change but i guess they mean the acessment and they never mentioned the medical so it just confused me

Yes indeed but you've been moved to the support group. It doesn't mean you're automatically entitled to any other benefits though. The only thing it will exclude you from is the benefit cap, if that applied to you when you were in the WRAG. Great news, now you can relax for a while.
