Hi @Darkie,
Welcome to the community.
I guess it depends whether you agree with the assessment as to whether you can work (and therefore should be in the work-related group) or not (and therefore should be in the support group).
There's some good info on how the Work Capability Assessment makes that decision on the DRUK website. If you scroll all the way down to "Appendix 3: The limited capability for work-related activity assessment" you can see the descriptors used.
Do you think you've been put in the right group? -

I'm in the support group for ESAdo I still get free prescriptions?I thought I was but I went to the dentist in August and have now received a fine please help I'm not sure what to do

Sorry
Support group does not give you access to free nhs services
You need to be in receipt of an income related element for it to apply
The other option is to apply for an HC2 certificate if you are on a low income
CR
Be all you can be, make every day count. Namaste -
I am in the Support Group receiving Contribution Based ESA, I am entitled to free NHS Prescriptions as I cannot go out alone but I am NOT entitled to free NHS Dental Charges, I hope this helps, all the best from Sethlaa
